The
salubrious hill station of Ponmudi is at a distance of 61 kms from
Thiruvananthapuram. The enchanting bounty of nature can be witnessed here in
the quiet surroundings.
Perched at an altitude of over 100 m above sea level on the Western Ghats,
the shimmering green waters of the winding streams and verdant woods of
Ponmudi do not spare anybody. Trekking is a passion with the visitors to
Ponmudi, lying within easy driving distance from Thiruvananthapuram.
One will find oneself compulsively pausing every now and then to drink in
deep the spectacular sweep of the hill ranges, tea-estates and the
mist-covered valleys, peppered with little toy-like stone cottages painted a
pretty violet, pink, or white with pointed and peaked roofs.
