The Agaya Gangai Eco-Hut is a peaceful, eco-friendly forest stay run by the Tamil Nadu Forest Department, set inside the scenic Agayagangai Eco Park in the Ariyur Shola Reserve Forest, close to the famous Agaya Gangai waterfalls. Each hut is built from natural materials to blend with the green surroundings, yet comes with comfortable basics like private balconies, forest views and hot water — a great choice for eco-tourism lovers, nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.
With cool mountain air, nature sounds and stunning views of hills, forests and nearby waterfalls, it’s an ideal getaway for solo travellers, families and couples after a quiet, sustainable retreat. It also serves as the accommodation base for the Kolli Hills Dark Sky Park stargazing camps, with transport arranged by the department.
