Peermade Hill Station
Clouds
drop gently on the peaks that flank the verdant slopes of Peermade.
Rich
with mile upon mile of plantation s falling away in precise steps. Coffee,
tea, pepper, cardamom and rubber flourish in what is the most fertile part
of the Western Ghats.
Broken only by spectacular waterfalls in the
distance and wide open grasslands in places. On a fairly warm day the
mercury reads between five and ten degrees celsius.
Little wonder
then, that the former Re-jas of Travancore sought this tiny hill station out
as their summer resort.
