Panchapalli – Of Crisp Air and Serene Waters
Blog: Arnab Maity Travel and Photography - 3 March 2012
Panchapalli is a small hamlet in Dharmapuri district of Tamil Nadu, boasting of a natural reservoir, the Panchapalli Lake and a dam that benefits the farmers of Panchapalli, Periyanur, Podikuttapalli, Samanur, Athimutlu, Jerthalav and Erranaalli villages. It is a picturesque reservoir nestled in the thickly vegetated hills of Denkanikottai region.As I ascended onto the hills on my bike, the whiff of fresh air comforted all malaise of an early morning ride.
