                \n
              • Arrange a vehicle (car\/jeep) as many spots are scattered and travel time adds up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

              • Check weather and forest\/road conditions \u2014 especially for hill\/forest areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Carry water, snacks, sun-protection, insect repellent (especially for nature spots).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • For temples, wear modest clothing and be respectful of local customs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • If you prefer a relaxed pace, pick fewer places and soak in the vibe rather than rush.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • For hills\/higher altitude spots: comfortable shoes, light jacket (if morning\/evening).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Stay in Pollachi town or a resort slightly outside for quieter surroundings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
