It is known for its scenic beauty, lush green hills, tea plantations, and cool climate, which makes it a popular destination among tourists.

Compared to Ooty, which is a much larger hill station located in Tamil Nadu, Arimbra Hills is a smaller and more tranquil destination with a focus on nature and outdoor activities.
Visitors to Arimbra Hills can enjoy activities such as trekking, bird watching, and photography while taking in the stunning views of the surrounding hills and tea plantations.
Arimbra Hills is also less crowded and more affordable than Ooty, making it a great option for those looking for a peaceful getaway. However, it is important to note that Ooty offers a wider range of tourist attractions such as botanical gardens, lakes, and museums, making it a better choice for those looking for a more developed tourist destination.
