Your journey begins from the plains of Theni or Bodi. The drive up the Bodi Mettu Ghat Road is a legendary experience for travelers. With 17 scenic hairpin bends, every turn reveals a more stunning view of the valley below.
Theni Travels Tip: Our luxury fleet, including Force Urbania and Mahindra Thar, handles these mountain curves with ease, ensuring you can focus on the view while we handle the road.
Mid-Morning: Bodimettu Viewpoints
Once you reach the top, the air turns crisp and cool. The Bodimettu Viewpoint offers a spectacular 360-degree vista of the Tamil Nadu plains on one side and the rolling green hills of Kerala on the other. On clear days, you can spot the massive silver lines of the waterfalls cascading down distant peaks.
Afternoon: Cardamom Estate Experience
Bodimettu is famous for its world-class cardamom. A 1-day trip isn't complete without a walk through a lush Cardamom Estate.
The Scent: Wander through the shaded plantations where the "Queen of Spices" grows.
The Process: Learn how cardamom is harvested and dried in traditional kilns.
Photography: The filtered sunlight through the giant leaves of the cardamom plants provides a magical backdrop for photos.
Late Afternoon: Exploring Local Charm
Before heading back, explore the local tea stalls for a hot cup of cardamom tea. You can also purchase fresh, high-quality spices directly from the source to take a piece of the hills back home with you.
