Kerala is fast becoming popular for its tree houses besides the beaches, wildlife    and hill stations. The tree houses are the wooden cottages built over the two        giant trees at an elevation of approximately 85 ft above the ground. To live in these     house is an experience in itself you will cherish all your life.

The eco-friendly locally available raw materials are used in the construction of the tree houses such as coir mats, bamboo poles, hay straws, trees used as pillar etc. Tree houses are basically modified versions of Erumadam, which were usually    sed by the tribals to protect themselves from the attacks of the wild animals. The tree houses in Kerala are usually placed in the rain forests surrounded by the plantations of tea, coffee, cardamom and pepper. Indigenous techniques, skills    and expertise of local tribal craftsmen are used for the construction and maintenance of these tree houses.
There is no facility of television, music system and other electronic devices in the tree houses thus making the entire arrangement eco-friendly. The only noise is    that of the chirping of the birds, swaying of the trees and rustle of the grass, which would sound like music to the ears. The lighting is provided by the hurricane lamps and kerosene oil.
Stay at the tree houses in Kerala is a unique experience and is welcome change from the usual stay in concrete and cement hotels. One can get really close to the nature and can have a picturesque view of the entire scenery from the top.
