About Thenmala Eco-Tourism
Thenmala, nestled in the foothills of the Western Ghats, is a living example of how nature and humanity can coexist in harmony. Recognized as India’s first eco-tourism destination, it blends green hills, lush forests, and artistic experiences in a single embrace. The name 'Thenmala' translates to 'Honey Hill', reflecting the region’s rich honey production and the sweet hum of bees that echo through its jungles. Visitors can stroll along elevated walkways through the woods, cycle along mountain trails, or glide across shimmering waters in bamboo rafts. The Musical Fountain Garden lights up the night, while the Sculpture Garden tells stories of nature’s bond with humankind. Thenmala is more than an attraction — it’s a philosophy of sustainable travel, where each breath tastes of the forest and every step treads gently upon the earth.
Best time to visit: September to February
