Frog Hill View Point, Gudalur, Nilgiris

Frog Hill View Point, Gudalur, Nilgiris
Frog Hill View Point is located near Gudalur Town in picturesque Nilgiris Hills near Ooty Hill Station in Gudalur Taluk of Nilgiris District of Tamilnadu. The hill viewed from this point resembles like that of huge Frog sitting on its leg. Hence this view point is called as the Frog Hill View Point. Frog Hill area is notorious for traffic blocks lasting one or two hours at times. The reason for the traffic issues is the narrow uphill track with heavy traffic of long buses and heavy trucks.



Frog Hill View Point is located at about 8 Kms from Gudalur, 8 Kms from Gudalur Bus Stand, 43 Kms from Ooty Bus Stand, 44 Kms from Ooty, 43 Kms from Ooty Railway Station, 62 Kms from Coonoor, 72 Kms from Kotagiri, 93 Kms from Mettupalayam Railway Station and 138 Kms from Coimbatore Airport. Private Taxis are available from Ooty and Coonoor to reach this place.


Gudalur is linked by road to Ooty by NH 181 and this is one of the Nilgiris Ghat Roads. In the other direction, the same road continues on towards Gundlupet (and on to Mysore) in Karnataka State. Another road links it to Malappuram and Sulthan Bathery in Kerala State. Gudalur is therefore on the access route to other towns in the district for goods and passengers from the state of Karnataka and some from the state of Kerala
