Kerala Western Ghats

The Points South Point of View – If you wish to escape the humidity of the coast a visit to the cool green Western Ghat mountains is recommended. The hill stations offer a glimpse of a bygone era with lush tea, coffee, and cardamom plantation. For wildlife we recommend the Wayanad and Nagarhole areas in Northern Kerala in contrast to the Periyar area.The number of tiger and leopard sightings in Nagarhole National park has recently increased.
