Most times when planning a holiday in Kerala, we think of only some of the more familiar places. But when you are looking for a less crowded, more peaceful, and ultimately most relaxing – the best choice is Vagamon. Nestled in Vagamon is an inspiring resort with cave rooms in Vagamon that gives you a range of experiences and it is called the Foggy Knolls.

Conveniently set

The resort is set high up on the mountains of Vagamon where the location is approximately over 1100 ft above sea level. The natural beauty, the climate, and the intrinsic charm of the place just grow on you and you fall in love with the location. Vagamon is easy to reach as it is located between Idukki and Kottayam. All around this quaint hill station are numerous places to visit, see and experience.

Scenic beauty abounds

It is no wonder that the British colonialists fell in love with Vagamon and filled the place with tea and coffee plantations. Today this beautiful location is recognized as one of the “50 most attractive places to visit in India”. This title is well won since Vagamon has a lot to offer. You have lush green meadows set on undulating mountains, there are pine forests and rain forests, waterfalls and brooks, spice and fruit orchards and some of the most stunning scenic views especially of sunrises and sunsets.

A holiday to remember

Anyone who holidays in Vagamon, whether alone or with someone they love – will immediately recognize how romantic and moody this place is. The cool climate and the gust of cool winds rushing through the pines in the pine forest, the drift of mist that gives a dreamy atmosphere to all you see, the richness of the flora, and the opportunity to watch wild animals all make every moment click-worthy and to be etched in memory.

Things to do

If you love boating, there’s a charming Vagamon lake bordered by cute villages and the greenery where you can go boating and perhaps sing a love song to your beloved. Continuing with the theme of romance, check out the Marmala waterfalls at Erattupetta where the 131 ft waterfall also called the Marmal Waterfall is tucked amidst verdant forests, obscure, and not very crowded. Or you can experience a bit of serenity and peace at the Sufi Saint’s spiritual place called Thangal Para which also has a fabulous view. The Mundakayam Ghat and the Idukki Dam are all places you can add to the itinerary.
