Puliyancholai Nature Area

Puliyancholai Nature Area is a forested hamlet at the foothills of the Kolli Hills in the Eastern Ghats, in Tiruchirappalli District, Tamil Nadu. It is known for its dense forest cover, natural streams and small waterfalls flowing from the Kolli Hills. The area forms a green buffer between the plains and the hills and is visited for its tranquil natural setting, shaded groves and seasonal water flows.

Visitors can expect a quiet forest environment with dense tree cover, rocky stream beds and shallow natural pools fed by hill streams. The area has unpaved forest paths, small cascades and bathing spots along the stream. There are no major built structures; the setting is largely natural with limited shops and basic parking near the stream entry. Visitors typically walk along the stream, wade in shallow water and enjoy nature photography.
