Editor's Review

Ramakkalmedu is a windy hill station with beautiful huge rocks and lots of greenery. The views are simply breathtaking, especially during sunrise or sunset. The place is perfect for trekking. If you can manage to trek up a rock, it can be a memorable experience. Since the hill station isn't very famous yet, there is less crowd and that becomes a major advantage. Just be careful when the wind is too strong. But the breeze generally makes the atmosphere wonderful.

• Lots of greenery and great for trekking.
• The road to Ramakkalmedu is not very good.
