• KURISU MALA AND MURUGAN MALA
  If you want to avoid Windy Walk Trek, then you can choose to visit Kurisu Mala or Murugan Mala. Kurisu Mala is a church at the top of a hill in Vagamon. The hill is spiritually significant for Christians and and offers some really mesmerising views from the top. Having said that, it is quite a bit of hike to reach to the top but the trail is well marked.
  Situated, right opposite Kurisu Mala is Murugan Mala. The temple at the top is dedicated to Lord Murugan with a Peacock statue. Again, the views from the top make the hike worth it!
