The filter of the forest........ Arippa Ecotourism Village

Arippa  

  

     There is no way that Arippa has walked. The forest makes an invisible view. It sounds unheard. Arippa wants to get a fresh niche for a jungle. Silence will make you smile at night. The tigers call you early in the morning. Forest Trekking School and Plant Forest Plantation brought Arippa to the outside world. But today Arippa has become known as Eco Tourism. It is a paradise for bird watchers. Nature lovers and tourists. A filter is in front of Kulathupuzha on Thiruvananthapuram-Chenkotta road. Nine kilometres away from Madathara junction. The Kerala Forest Development Corporation (KFDC) has been providing facilities for tourists here. The guesthouse's three-room guesthouse with its well-maintained "Jyothishmathi" in the middle of the jungle is known to many tourists rather than the locals. Most of them come down to see the birds of the Western Ghats. It is here that the guest house has been training the Forest School officials.

These freshwater marshes are the rare types of wildlife in the world. When we get into this forest with tight roots, we are in some age of the evolution of the universe. Trees that roam in the roots like the men standing there. The great ecological significance of the "Miristica" marshes originates from these regions of the Western Ghats. It was in 1960. Even if you do not get in the car, you can see a part of the mars. The Wenkodu junction is about four inches away from the bottom line. "Sasthaamnada" will reach about five kilometers by right from here. Here you can see the roots of the roots of the roots. This is the "Sasthamnada" swamp.

Not many travellers want to bite the filter. It is only for those who respect nature.

      Eco Tourism is a revolutionary way of turning the world of tourism. The best of all travel destinations is the heartburn of nature. The Festival of Passport and SUV vehicles are invitations to travellers who want to walk in nature while shopping and trekking. The opportunity to get lonely and lazy in the concrete jungles and the loneliness of the loneliness of the jungle is the opportunity to get rid of the nature of the nature of nature and get the natural nuances of the forest.

     Travellers all over the world are going through the road today. Leaving the routines and away from the crowd, the crowd gathering around the crowd. The Eco-tourism in Kerala has a lot of places in the region, with its niche beauty and intuitive beauty.

     Remember, these are not the five fully developed five-star vacation sites. Facilities in many centres will be limited. It may be that there are no hotels, massage parlours or even good roads. But the one thing. Nature is full of natural beauty. Those who wish to get rid of this for a day can be here for a busy day. Let the night rush on the hills. Fishing in the river. You can also wander through the jungle. Just walk in ...

     The 1,000-footed journey begins on a small scale. A small step in the return trip to nature.......
