Kerala has a long chain of green, mid-clad hill stations that are home to exotic wildlife. All the hill resorts in Kerala offer the most charming experience of nature in all its virgin beauty. When the warmth is on the plains, and the time to get away from the crowd, came for a rendezvous with nature. Inhale the bracing wall air, relax in peace, stroll down winding paths, marvel at the good-looking views, and enjoy the profusion of flowers in bloom. Kerala's exotic appeal is centered in the flat terrain area of the Western Ghats. Rising to an standard height of 1520 m, it houses rich flora and fauna. |
