About Pettimudi Hill Top

Located in the misty hills of Kerala’s Idukki district, Pettimudi Hill Top is a stunning viewpoint that offers amazing views of tea plantations and dense forests. This hidden gem, sitting at an elevation of about 1,800 meters, has gained popularity among nature lovers and photographers in recent years. Pettimudi Hill Top’s specialty is its untouched beauty and the magical early morning fog.


The journey to Pettimudi Hill Top is as rewarding as the destination. The winding roads through tea gardens and spice plantations give you a taste of Kerala’s natural beauty. Many Kerala Tour Packages now include this spot because of its growing charm. The hilltop was once a British tea plantation area, and you can still see some old structures that tell tales of the colonial era. During the monsoon season, the entire landscape transforms into a lush green paradise, making it one of the most picturesque locations in the region.
