What would you like to call this shot? Charming? Bewitching? Some facets of nature have been casting their spell on human beings for years and so does this breathtaking view from Nelliyampathy. It is as if the whole world merges into an endless ocean of beauty, reminding one of a surrealist painting.

Nelliyampathy, the famous picnic spot in Palakkad district, derives its name from the clumps of Nelli (gooseberry) trees that grow lavishly around the region. Waterfalls, small streams and mist clad hillocks make Nelliyampathy a favorite spot for holiday makers.
