Kerala, God's own country, is a mesmerizing and
beautiful land. Kerala is so picturesque, so adventurous and so
hospitable. Once in Kerala, you find yourself completely in the lap of
nature. Vacations and holidays in Kerala are full of excitement and
adventure. The excitement and adventure is not only limited to the
natural beauty and cultural heritage of Kerala but also engulf the place
where you stay. If you are an adventurous traveler, Kerala is the place
for you. Tree houses are an exciting feature of Kerala vacations. The
tree top houses are constructed on the top of the trees, using wooden
materials amidst trees. The tree houses in Kerala are also called eco
lodge and ethnic houses and provide all basic facilities.
The tree Houses are constructed of eco-friendly materials. Local
craftsmen, using local materials and indigenous techniques used by the
early inhabitants, design the tree houses. It is interesting to note
that while constructing and maintaining these houses, expertise of local
tribes is always taken into account. The tree houses have modern
facilities like attached bathrooms, telephone, shower, wash basin with
running water, carpeted veranda, sit-out etc. Usually a hanging bridge
or a cane lift provides the access to these tree houses. Some of these
tree houses go as high as 100 feet and provide a great view of the
natural beauty all around. Vythiri, known for its evergreen rain
forests, coffee, tea, cardamom and pepper plantations, is one of the
well-known places having tree houses.
