God’s Own Country – Kerala - Antidote for the weary traveler.

It is one of the ten paradises of the world.

Ecotourism is a new concept in tourism. It is a purposeful travel to natural areas to understand the cultural and natural history of environment, taking care not to alter the integrity of the ecosystem, while producing economic opportunities that make conservation of natural resources beneficial to local people. Thenmala ecotourism project is the first planned ecotourism project/destination in India. In many other cases it was just renaming of an already existing "nature tourism". The real ecotourism is to take place in sanctuary and only ecotourists are encouraged for that. Others can experience the ecofriendly products such as small nature trails, elevated walkway through canopies, mountain biking etc. Facilities such as boating in the Sanctuary reservoir, boardwalk, sculpture garden, amphitheatre, Musical Dancing Fountain, etc. are also provided at Thenmala for soft ecotourists. An Environmental education and interpretation center is also being set up at Thenmala.

In short, "Thenmala ecotourism" is a learning experience. Our idea as tour operators is to make your stay in Thenmala in every way a comfortable and memorable one with our unique tour itineraries to this area. Highland Hotel & Resorts, three star classified Hotel is situated very near to Thenmala.
