Looking for a peaceful escape from the bustle of Madurai? We at Madurai Holidays recently took a scenic road trip to Meghamalai, a hidden hill station tucked deep in the Western Ghats—around 130 km and roughly 4 hours away from the city.
The journey itself was a treat—lush green fields, winding ghat roads, and occasional wildlife sightings made the drive feel like a moving postcard. As we ascended the hills, the air turned crisp and cool, with clouds kissing the treetops and mist following us like a guide.
Known as “High Wavys”, Meghamalai is untouched and less crowded compared to other hill stations. We visited the serene Highway’s Dam, wandered through endless tea estates, and relaxed by small streams tucked in between thick forests. Birdsong replaced honking traffic, and time seemed to slow down.
If you’re craving quiet moments, fresh mountain air, and panoramic views, Meghamalai is your kind of place. Perfect for nature lovers, couples, and anyone needing a digital detox.
