Start your trip in Vegamon with a visit to the Kurisumala Ashram, situated atop a hill overlooking the rolling tea plantations. It is a serene place where one can meditate, pray and seek solace. The Ashram also has a dairy farm and a farm where fruits and vegetables are grown organically. Take a tour of the farm and indulge in some fresh produce. You can also participate in the daily prayers and enjoy the beautiful view from the hilltop.
Head towards the Parunthumpara Hill Viewpoint for an unforgettable view of the Western Ghats. The viewpoint is surrounded by lush green valleys and hills and is an ideal spot for photography. You can also take a walk along the bamboo bridge and enjoy the fresh mountain breeze. If you're lucky, you might even spot some wildlife. The view from the top is stunning and will make for lasting memories.
If you have more time, you can visit the Vagamon Pine Forest, Thangal Para and the Vagamon Meadows. For those with younger children, the Vagamon Orchidarium and Floriculture Project is a great stop. If you have less time, you can skip the Kurisumala Ashram and head straight to Parunthumpara Hill Viewpoint to enjoy the breathtaking view.
