She Trails Ladies Only Urumbi Hill Camp April 9th – 10th
Hightlight
- Tents
Urumbikkara is a relatively unknown locale nestled in the southern end of the
Western Ghats. Though gaining recognition at a rapid pace, the hills of Urumbi are
yet to be explored or experienced fully. The verdant hills of the Ghats, blanketed with
mists and crisscrossed with numerous waterfalls, are a spectacular sight to behold.
Our quaint stay is perched along one of the hills, with a wide and immersive view to
the western horizon. A day spend in this camping ambience away from the noisy
hustle and bustle of city life is sure to rejuvenate your soul.
Panchalimedu is one of the beautiful hill stations in the Idukki district of Kerala. It is
an eco-tourism project by Kerala government. Its developed and maintained by
Kerala Tourism Development Corporation(KTDC). The cool climate and refreshing
breeze is a specialty here. The place offers an ethereal atmosphere. This place has an
enchanting set of hills, which refreshes the body and mind.
