The magnetic beauty of the majestic mountains donning the Western Ghats and
the emerald blue-green waters of the Arabian Sea blending in a kind of exotic
harmony with the natural forests and their amazing flora and fauna invite
millions of people to Kerala. This perfect setting lures adventure enthusiasts
to indulge in adrenaline-driven activities.
Here lets take a look at 7 adventure activities that you can do while
visiting Kerala
Bamboo Rafting along the Rivers
If you are a nature lover to the core, then you wouldn’t
want to miss the Bamboo rafting at Periyar Tiger Reserve, Thekkady. This unique
eco-tourism program allows you to enjoy the enchanting beauty of the forests
where you travel lightly in the bamboo, watch the arboreal animals and enjoy the
sweet performance of the birds. You can traverse through many of the forest areas
when you raft, and most of the time, this can be arranged from early morning
and goes on for 9 hours. The same can be enjoyed at Wayanad too!
Canoeing and Kayaking
If you are intent on experiencing the culture of Kerala at
close quarters, then you can go on kayaking and canoeing. Different kinds of
kayaking opportunities are available for visitors and you can choose from among
them. The incomparable beauty of the backwaters and mesmerizing dense foliage
beyond it can be enjoyed through a kayak tour.
Mountain Climbing
If you are keen on mountain climbing, there are some spots
where you can enjoy the sport. Chembra Peak in Wayanad is a popular point
for mountain climbing. It will take you one fullday to climb the mountain and
you need to protect yourself with sun blocks and mosquito repellents while
climbing. Of course, snacks and water are other must-carry items. The climb can
be steep, rough, and you will have to suffer through mist obstructing the view.
Trekking
You can go into the forests at Thekkady and walk along the
tiger trail. There will be expert guides to help you spot the other animals and
a walk along the dense forests with comfortable, camouflaging clothes is
certainly inspiring. You can even cook in the jungle, enjoy a simple meal,
sleep in the tent and if lucky, you can certainly spot a tiger. Trekking will
certainly give you a taste of the mysterious forests of Kerala; but try as you
might, you cannot crack the mystery… it still eludes you.
Living in a Tree-House
This is one of the most out of the world experience of staying in this enchanting land. You can stay at the tree-houses
where you can actually see for miles and spot the different animals from the
vantage point. Elephants, tigers, leopards, pigs, wild boar, bears and plenty
of other animals may walk right below your tree-house. Get acquainted with the
majestic beauty of Kerala forests and observe the subtle, yet myriad aspects of
the forest life right from your tree house.
This facility is offered at many
resorts in Kerala, and of course, it will be a lifetime experience because you
can listen to the chirping of the various birds in the morning, enjoy the sun’s
rays peeping through the dense trees and the rhythmic hum of the beetles in the
evening.
The Treadmill Workout
Of course, this is not the kind of workout that you do at
your gym. You see this traditional ‘treadmill’ in the paddy fields of Kerala.
If the farmer allows you, can try pedaling on the treadmill; the main function
of this treadmill is to irrigate the paddy fields. It is going to be a whole
lot of fun, and you can get your muscles toned too.
Wildlife Safari
Living in a tree house will give you a ringside view of the forests, but
going on a wildlife safari will definitely take you beyond all that. The
biodiversity of the country and the amazing flora and fauna will invoke a deep
sense of resoluteness in you, and through that you will realize the importance
of protecting the natural beauty, without which, mankind will be extinguished
like the snuff of a candle. Both day and nocturnal safaris are available to
tourists.
Kerala is beautiful in every sense of the word, and there are plenty of
interesting places to see as well. Apart from the adventurous activities
mentioned above, you can also enjoy elephant rides (which is indeed adventurous
for me!) and also take part in elephant processions conducted during temple
festivals.
There are many more options like Paragliding, Sea Surfing, Scuba Diving,
Biking…Well, for adventure enthusiasts, sky is the limit for venting out their
creative energy in Kerala!
