Into the Wilderness
"God's own country" Kerala is gifted with dense nature and variety of Flora & Fauna. So, set your foot in Nature's Backyard, experience the wilderness and the natural beauty of Western Ghats hills!
Western Ghats being one of the eight hot-spots of biodiversity in the world and home to indigenous species of flora & fauna, are paradise for bird lovers, nature photographers and trekkers alike.
This is the place where you can get the peace of mind in the form of nature, yoga, ayurveda and set yourself wild in the lush green hills. Its here, where one can get fully immersed and enjoy off trail adventures, by creating their own paths.
Planning a holiday in the wild is an invitation to be a part of nature again from which we have disconnected ourselves lately.
