Kerala has a beautiful destination based on the beauty of its Western Ghats, Marayoor. It is a hidden heaven blending nature, history, and adventure. This charming destination is about 40 kilometres from the popular hill station of Munnar and is well-known for its sandalwood forests, ancient Dolmens, and culture. 


Marayoor is that one unknown destination that gives tourists relief the tourists track and lets visitors connect with Mother Nature in a total sense. It is like an unexplored hidden gem that one should add to their Munnar Tour Packages and have the mindblowing refreshing Marayoor Holidays.


This destination is beside two pre-historic sites which are Marayoor Sandalwood Forest and Vast Sugarcane Farms which are known for a tasty variety of solid molasses (sarkara in Malayalam) are among the attractions of Marayoor.


Marayoor is one of the attractions that stand out because of its world-famous sandalwood forest. It is an extensive area covered with aromatic sandalwood trees protected by the Kerala Forest Department. This is one of the few naturally grown sandalwood forests in India, making it a rare ecological wonder. 


Among many things, the most interesting historical remains of Kerala at Marayoor are Dolmens. Thousands of years old Megalithic burial grounds make the principal landscape features of these ancient human habitation areas. These Dolmens, very famously called "Muniyaras," have stone chambers that open doors to the past; hence Marayoor is a goldmine for history enthusiasts and archaeologists.


 In this way, the mystery shrouding these structures does not detract from but adds to the charm of Marayoor, creating an irresistible destination for visitors who want to discover the ancient heritage of Kerala.


Allowing one to be present within a mud house Marayoor to live in can truly give visitors the possibility to be connected with the pure experience of nature; while made from all naturally occurring materials in and around their vicinity, such a dwelling keeps it quite cool with the climate found to exist within the region during summer, hence these dwellings allow one to get proper relaxation amidst nature. 


The Mud House Marayoor is a traditional abode with all the necessities for an earthy yet cosy stay. This gives the visitor an authentic taste of life in the hills of Kerala. It is highly sought after for those wishing to get away from city life and retire into peace and the wilderness. Adventures include trekking in Marayoor as a means of exploring these breathtaking landscapes. Marayoor trekking is an experience for adventure from easy trails through the sandalwood forests to steeper hikes up the Western Ghats.


The view is different, for each: the scenery of Marayoor, flora diversities, and vivid birds accompany the journey. It offers rugged terrain and virgin trails in Marayoor with an adventurous outdoor expedition, promising an exciting trip into the unknown for a rewarding trekking experience.


Marayoor is one of the places which let you discover a different, culture and nature-rich Kerala. Some stunning landscapes, some mystical historical places, and environmental friendliness make Marayoor one of the excellent places for Kerala Tour Packages.


Thus, with the possibility to stay in traditional mud houses, experience the splendour of Marayoor's sandalwood forest, and walk on trekking trails through idyllic sceneries, Marayoor epitomizes the best possible mix of adventure, silence, and cultural exploration for any kind of quiet or fun holiday.


Visitors love to come to Marayoor for its famous animals as the forests in Marayur preserve a population of the endangered Grizzled Giant Squirrel. The rare white bison has been recently reported in Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary. Other important mammals found are elephant, tiger, leopard, guar, sambar, spotted deer, Nilgiri thar, common langur, bonnet macaque etc. and you can enjoy your Marayoor Kerala Trip.
