Every year when I visit Trivandrum, I make it a point to go to Ponmudi, which is also called the Golden Peak is a Hill Station. We have to travel about 60km fom Trivandrum city to reach there.This Hill station belongs to the Western Ghats at an altitude of around 1000m.
The climate is pleasant throughout the year. I like the many tea gardens situated here. The place is so famous for its natural beauty and is covered with thick forest.The Kallar river flows through here which is very beautiful.Nearby there is the Peppara Wildlife Santuary and many trekking paths.There is a deer park and cottages made of wood and stone.
Another famous place nearby is the Meenmutty falls is nearby situated.Another main attraction in the region is Agasthyarkoodam.This is one of the highest peaks in the Western Ghats and highest peak at 1868 m. This peak can be accessed only with the permission of the Forest Department.Travelling through the narrow winding road were really exciting.We always start early in the morning so that we don't miss the beautiful sunrise. There are also hotels of KTDC so that the tourists can stay. But we normally return in the evening as its just one's days tour. But one can never forget the beautiful place and it always calls us back, we feel we should visit again and again.
