Viboothimalai (also Vibhuti Malai or Vibhoothi Malai) is a challenging hilltop trek in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve near Masinagudi, Tamil Nadu, leading to a Murugan temple with stunning Nilgiri valley views. Known as one of Masinagudi's hardest treks, it combines off-road jeep access and steep climbs through forests teeming with wildlife.
Full route covers 7 km road to Bokkapuram plus 3 km off-road/trek; expect rocky paths, elevation gain, and panoramic hill vistas—best in mornings for cooler temps and animal sightings. The temple, built by actor Mithun Chakraborty ~25 years ago, crowns the summit. We will be taking you on a off road jeep safari in masinagudi.
