Did the Poomalai trek and really enjoyed it! The forest pathway kept us shaded for most of the walk, so we easily escaped the sun. The tree at the top gave a lovely chill feel after the long climb, a perfect spot to rest. I personally loved the Vinayagar temple too. On Saturdays local people visit for the temple, so expect a few visitors. The kids loved it as well. A perfect family outing, highly recommended!
