Nestled in the Idukki district of Kerala, Vagamon's Barren Hills are a captivating sight, often enveloped in a blanket of mist and surrounded by lush greenery. These unique hill formations, characterized by their lack of vegetation, stand in stark contrast to the otherwise verdant landscape of Vagamon. The hills are a product of geological and climatic factors that have sculpted the terrain over eons. The grass-covered hills with boulder-strewn paths are a favorite among trekkers and nature enthusiasts. The undulating terrain of the Barren Hills offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the deep valleys and the majestic mountains that border the horizon. Vagamon itself is situated at an altitude of about 1,100 meters above sea level and is renowned for its cool climate and serene ambiance. The Barren Hills are an ideal spot for picnics, photography, and simply soaking in the tranquil beauty of nature. The mystical appeal of the hills is accentuated during the early morning hours when they are often surrounded by a mystical fog, creating an ethereal atmosphere.

Average Spot
Average spot, good for near by people. Good place to relax and enjoy with family. But, not recommended to travel long way to see this.

Greenery all around
It looks like a dreamland, green domes all around and spreads infinitely. Try rolling down in these hills, or just lay down and enjoy.
