Sembukarai - Perulmalmudi Trek 05 07 2026 We had an amazing trek to Prumalmudi from Senbukarai. Well we didn’t go all the way to Perumalmudi because the wind was just too heavy. Literally pushing us to one side as we were walking. The group of guides there are very welcoming. They gave us our lunch (Puliyodharai rice) neatly packed in a stainless steel box. We got caps, a note about birds there, a cap.. Dejasvi was our smiling guide. The initial stretch about an hour is a steep climb. Then the path levels out over the ridge. You get superb views all around. Carry all essential clothing. We wore rain ponchos in the beginning of the trek. Had to take it off once the sun came up and made it super hot. Then the wind picked up and we were wearing jackets. So we got all sorts of weather in the 4 hours we hiked (we took very long breaks). You will take a lot of pics. All in all a very minimally challenging and nourishing weekend trek. We reported at Mangarai at 8, drove up to Sembukarai by 9 and we started the trek by 9:30 finished by 1:30.. all comfortably with very few challenging sections in between. Go for this one, you will enjoy it. Make sure the weather is not too hot.. we were lucky.
The journey up from Sembukarai village was an incredible test of endurance. We navigated our way through dense shola forests, scrambled up steep rocky inclines, and walked through those endless, breezy plains of lemon grass. Every drop of sweat was absolutely worth it the moment we reached the serene rock temple at the summit. Taking in the breathtaking, panoramic views of the Nilgiri and Anaikatti ranges is a feeling I won't forget anytime soon.
I had a very good and mind blowing experience while trek to perumalmudi also local guides who came with us were so caring, friendly and helpful guys.They have arranged the trek accordingly, Thankyou so much for trek tamilnadu

The trek was truly enjoyable. The guides were really knowledgeable about the flora and the fauna of the area. They were hospitable too. The trek had beautiful views of the Nilgiri and the Anaikatti ranges too. At the end, it was a 10/10 experience. Thank you, TrekTamilNadu, for giving trekkers such an experience.
