Overview
It would be most remarkable to have 360 degree picturesque landscape which has opened up in a unique and exhilarating way at dusk and dawn hours!Yes, Ilaveezhapoonchira, Located in Melukavu village in Kottayam district, unexplored and unpolluted spot gifts us such a view in excess beauty!
Lets trek through the lush green forests of Muniyara, Mankunnu, and the Kurishumala. Lets cheer atop and refresh ourselves in the lap of mother nature, lets wave to the withered clouds below us, lets wrap ourselves and experience the bamboo hut stays crowned at 3200 ft above sea level,and experience the night with campfire and music. Lets hike into the forest and give feet a rest to see the sun bid goodbye and lets hear the winds sing to us, later.
Together, lets explore and experience the nature in this Monsoon
