Trekking is a passion with the visitors to Ponmudi (altitude: 1066 m), lying within easy driving distance from Trivandrum. You will find yourself compulsively pausing every now and then to drink in deep to spectacular sweep of the hill ranges, tea-estates and the discovered valleys, peppered with little toy-like stone cottages painted a pretty violet, pink, of white with pointed and peaked roofs.
Ponmudi throws up other surprises too. Orchids, for in stance, thrive in wild profusion. A charming deer park is only 3 kms. away from the resort. And Golden Valley - another pretty picnic spot endowed with natural springs - is a little further down the hill.
Sightseeing
Kovalam : Finding a beach resort and a hill resort severed up close together for the holiday-maker is a rarity. and of course, most pleasurable. Remarkably this is what the internationally renowned Kovalam beach at a mere 78 kms from Ponmudi (travel time: a littler over 2 hours) offers you.
