Ponmudi
is the nearest hill station to Thiruvananthapuram (65km). It
is located 915 metres above sea level. It is an idyllic hill
resort with narrow, winding path ways and cool, green wooded
environs. It serves as a good base for trekking and bird watching.
The natural scenery, salubrious
climate and the scope of hiking in high trails make the visit
an exhilarating experience. There is a charming deer park which
is only 3kms from Ponmudi.
