What to expect
Thally (Little England) Valley and Lake
Thally is a green hamlet in Denkanikottai taluk, about 25 km from Hosur, ringed by hills and sitting roughly 1,000 feet above the surrounding plains. Its cool, misty climate earned it the nickname 'Little England' during British rule, and today it is a favourite scenic escape for its lake, gardens, rolling farmland and rock-climbing hills. The surrounding Thaliagiri slopes are popular with trekkers and climbers of varying skill levels. The valley's flower and vegetable farms add to its pastoral charm.
