Malabar, the northern end of Kerala with its monsoon forests, exotic wildlife and colourful ritual and arts exude a remote charm. Tucked under the dense Malabar hills, the district of Wayanad is an ideal get-away to explore and experience nature.

At a refreshing height of 700 meters above sea level, Lakkidi is the gateway to Wayanad. The scenic journey through winding ways into the wilderness of Vythiri is suffused with the scene of spices. Deep green woods sprouting wild flowers of colourful hues, cascading waterfalls, musical notes of birds, the caress of cool breeze, all lure your senses to slip into a beautiful reverie.

Nestled in the wilderness of Vythiri is, Fintser Hills, a sprawling 500 acres of cardamom plantation, girdled by a perennial fresh water stream. Fintser Hills is unique with its tree houses, streamside restaurant and eco-lodge.

At a two-kilometre distance from the eco-lodges in Fintser Hills, at an elevation of 4000 feet is the Jungle Park Resorts. A beautiful synthesis of nature and fine craftsmanship, the Jungle Park Resorts combine the ambience of luxurious living with the mystery and adventure of the Jungle Park. The resort imparts a traditional ambience with its typical Kerala architecture. Done up mostly in wood, this aesthetically etched resort provides comfort and privacy along with all modern facilities. A visit to the tribal villages, along with the wild swaying rhythms of tribal dancers and a night camp in the patio with bonfire, render the real thrills of jungle life.

The resort has spacious king-sized bedrooms with sloped tile roof, intricately carved wooden furnishings, mellowed sunlight streaming in through the glass lattice - which will transport you to an ethereal world. Apart from these, it also has Single Villas with private garden suited to give you unlimited peace and tranquillity, Row Houses with veranda opening to the greens of the jungle and tress houses pitched on heights to give you a spectacular view of nature carpeted with vibrant colours.

The conference hall of the resort has the perfect setting for business meets, conferences, and gatherings. This well-equipped hall has a 75-seat capacity. The quietness of the environment makes it an ideal place to hold business meetings and conferences helping you analyse your corporate future and chalk out efficient business decisions.

The open lounges enliven you as you drift alongside the unhurried pace of time. Sit back with a streaming cup of coffee, muse and drink in the glory of nature as the sun sinks silently in the far horizon casting unknown hues in the sky. White mists enveloping the darkening green jungles, clamour of birds as they hurry back to their nest, calls of the wild as the forest shrugs off sleep for the nightlife, you realise that there is nothing between you and heaven, and that life indeed is beautiful.
