Salem to Namakkal Tour Package Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Salem and Transfer to Namakkal
The journey commences with a pickup from Salem. The route proceeds toward Namakkal, a city steeped in history. Upon arrival, the exploration begins with a visit to the historical landmarks located in the heart of the town. The day includes visits to prominent religious and historical sites followed by an overnight stay at a local 3-star hotel.

• Namakkal Fort: This 16th-century fortification is perched atop a massive rock hill and is constructed entirely of single stones. The fort offers a panoramic view of the Namakkal town and houses historical granaries and ruins that reflect the architectural prowess of the Madurai Nayaks. It serves as a testament to the region’s defensive history and provides a serene environment for history enthusiasts.
• Namakkal Anjaneyar Temple: Famous for its massive 18-foot tall idol of Lord Hanuman, this temple is carved out of a single stone. The idol is positioned directly opposite the Narasimha temple located in the fort area. The temple is unique as it lacks a traditional roof over the main deity, allowing the idol to remain open to the sky, attracting thousands of devotees annually for its spiritual significance.

Day 2: Kolli Hills Sightseeing and Return to Salem
The second day involves a scenic drive through seventy hair-pin bends to reach the lush Kolli Hills. This mountain range is celebrated for its biodiversity and untouched natural beauty. After exploring the key viewpoints and waterfalls, the journey concludes with a drive back to Salem for the final drop-off.

• Agaya Gangai Waterfalls: Situated in the Kolli Hills, this 300-foot waterfall is a spectacular sight nestled within the dense forest. Visitors must descend approximately 1000 steps to reach the base of the falls, where the water plunges into the Aiyaru River. The surrounding area is known for its medicinal plants and refreshing atmosphere, making it a highlight for nature lovers.
• Arapaleeswarar Temple: This ancient Shiva temple, located near the Agaya Gangai falls, dates back to the 1st or 2nd century AD. The temple is mentioned in classical Sangam literature and features intricate stone carvings and a peaceful courtyard. It remains a major spiritual center in the Kolli Hills, reflecting the deep-rooted cultural heritage of the Tamil people.
