Complete step by step solution:
 Vandaravu is the highest peak in the hills of Parani. It is located between the southern Cumbum Valley, bordered by the Vaigai River and the upper rivers, and the northern province of Kongunadu. The northern slopes are bounded by the Shanmukha River, the Nanganji River, and the Kodavanar River, which is the Kaveri River. The range lies mainly in the Dindigul district, with the exception of the western part, where it forms the boundary between the Dindigul district and the Thenni district to the south and the Idukki region to the southwest. The Kodaikanal hill station lies in the south-central part of the range. Palani Hills joins Anamalai Hills and Cardamom Hills in Anamudi peak district of Kerala.
