Velliangiri Hills

What people say, in short
Velliangiri Hills is a hill trek that a few commenters recommend, several calling it difficult and physically demanding. The trail is open roughly from mid-February to the end of May, and a few suggest starting at night or in the evening to avoid the heat, then descending before noon. One trekker warns you should be fit enough for a hard, rocky trail and says water is scarce, so they advise carrying a torch, a light load, and enough water; another says it will test your endurance to the max but is an amazing feeling if you finish. Buses run from the city, parking is available near the trek start, and one commenter notes weekends draw crowds.
