Kerala Hill Stations
 Kerala
has a long chain of lush, mid-clad hill stations that are home to
exotic wildlife. All the hill resorts in Kerela offer the most enchanting
experience of nature in all its virgin beauty.
When the heat is on the plains, and the time
to get away from the crowd, came for a rendezvous with nature.
Inhale
the bracing mountain air, relax in peace, stroll down winding paths, marvel at
the beautiful views, enjoy the profusion of flowers in bloom. Kerala's exotic
appeal is centered in the highland area of the Western Ghats. Rising to an average
height of 1520 m , it houses rich flora and fauna.
Echo Point
Lock Heart Gap (13 km from Munnar) This is an ideal place for adventure tourism
and trekking. The fresh mountain air, the mist-clad hills and panoramic view make
it worthy of a visit. This scenic place gets its name from the natural echo phenomenon
here. Echo Point is on the way to Top Station from Munnar.
Munnar
The nature-lover’s paradise. Snuggling in the green and serene Kannan Devan
Hills, lies the quite and restful resort of Munnar, at an altitude of 1524 m and
136 km off Cochin.
Panoramic views of low-flying clouds and mist filled
valleys make it a pretty little heaven with a cool bracing climate. It was opened
up out of virgin forests a century ago by pioneering planters.
Within its remote and elderly churches - gracious, stone-structures with ancient
chandeliers and rosewood pews. A little beyond lies Anaimudi, South India's highest
peak. In the vicinity is the Eravikulam National Park, the home of the endangered
Nilgiri Tahr that roams on a stretch of grassland or is seen climbing the pinnacles
of the undulating hills.
Here we can have a glimpse of a Gaur, Langur,
Lion-tailed macaque, and Elephants roaming in herds.
Thrissanku
and Peeru Hills
 Located
4 km from Peermede, half a km from Kuttikanam. The landscape here
is breathtaking with rolling hills and a gentle breeze caressing.
A perfect spot to unwind and to go for long walks.. The spectacular
view of the sunset and sunrise from these hills is simply awesome.
Wayanad
Area: 2132 sq. km.
Population:671,195 (2001 census) Altitude: 700 - 2100 m above sea level Wayanad
is one of the districts in Kerala that has been able to retain its pristine nature.
Luxuriant plantations of coffee, tea, cardamom, pepper and rubber, stretch over
the hills of Wayanad as far as the eye can see. With the fast-flowing rivers -
Panamaram, Mananthavady and Kabini - cutting across the undulating panorama and
lending a picture-postcard look to the whole region - the north eastern tip of
Kerala.
