Introduction

Perched on a hillock within the Salient area of the Periyar Wild Life Sanctuary is Tree Top, an idyllic retreat that offers an unparalleled opportunity to savor the magical sensation of the evergreen rainforests that straddles the tiny state of Kerala on the southwestern tip of the Indian Peninsula. Sandwiched between the mighty Western Ghats [mountain range] and the Arabian Sea, Kerala is an amazingly stunning and beautiful strip of land and many a ship has set sail in search of the veritable gold mine of spices grown in the upper reaches of her forests, since time immemorial. Situated 2800 feet above MSL, the climate is pleasantly cool through out the year and the unpolluted mountain air truly invigorating and the experience sublime.
