Kotagiri is a hill station in
Niligiris District situated at the height of 5,890 feet. Most of the trekking

which is prohibited to outsiders by forest department. The pleasant weather and
fluctuating temperatures add up to the beauty of this place. The trail starts in
the tea estates and continues down the valley on the river - path to end at
Mettupalayam - Kotagiri junction. The major attractions near Kotagiri include
the Catherine Falls, Elk Falls, Doddabetta Peak and the Rangaswami Pillar.
