Kerala offers excellent hiking and biking
prospects with its many hill stations of Munnar, Palakkad, Wagamon
and Idukki. The magic of lush Kerala hill stations fragrant
with scents of cardamom and cloves, offer ideal wooded trails
for hiking tours. Winding through the cardamom plantations,
trekking through the rubber and coffee farms, and hiking through
the misty mountain forests leaves body and mind in awe of the
raw untamed Kerala greens.
The green forests of the Kerala hill stations are natural
habitats for exotic orchids, colorful flowering shrubs, dense
greens, tropical trees and wild animals like the tiger, monkeys,
leopards, elephants, wild dogs and hundreds of birds.

Tree House
Holidays |
|
| |
|
Kerala offers an exotic opportunity to tourists to stay
in a tree house, which may be anywhere between 20 to 90
feet above the ground mounted on a treetop. The view from
these tree houses is panoramic.
Built and maintained extensively by the local tribal people,
these houses are made up of purely eco-friendly materials,
such as coir mats, bamboo poles, hay straws, live trees
(as pillar) et al. Essentially a modified version of "Erumadam",
or house used by the tribal to escape attacks of wild
animals, are now a popular tourist attraction for all
those seeking a peaceful and quiet time in the lap of
mother nature.
