| Welcome
to Kerala Hill Station
Kerala
has many beautiful hill stations. Not only are
these beautiful destinations they are also the
source of the famous spices of Kerala. Spices
such as pepper, cardamom, cinnamon and the cashew
nut have been grown in plantations on these hill
stations in Kerala, for centuries. Cash crops
such rubber and tea were introduced by the Dutch
and English colonial rulers of Kerala in the 18th
and 19th centuries, when they realized these plants
could grow in the tropical climate of Kerala.
Some of the hill stations in Kerala are:
MUNNAR……….
in communion with the best of nature
One of the most popular
hill stations in India. Located at 1600 mts. above
sea level, it is breathtakingly beautiful and
a haven of peace and tranquility. This idyllic
tourist destination was the favored summer resort
of the erstwhile British rulers in the colonial
days. Pristine valleys and mountains, unending
expanse of tea plantations, exotic species of
flora and fauna, aroma of spice scented cool air,
is what makes Munnar a place to visit. It is a
place that you would wish never to leave.The Tea
Sanctuary girdling Munnar offer visitors a rare
serenity amidst its perpetually verdant hills
that house a wealth of tropical diversity. From
the cozy warm interior, step outdoors to a panoramic
serenity…….wrap yourself in a shawl
of mist while you draw in fresh breaths with the
fragrance of eucalyptus and aroma of spice. More
