The Kulamavu Dam, situated 7 kms away in Periyar River, is another attraction. One of the best off-road trails in Kerala, Uluppuni offers more engaging experiences as you trek uphill. It promises an exhilarating experience with its breathtaking view of green hills and blue reservoirs. Early mornings are the ideal time to climb the hills. It is a mystical experience to watch the sunrise above the hills, amidst the rolling clouds, as you are caressed by the fog carried by the breeze in the valley. Uluppuni is located 10 kms from Vagamon.
From Vagamon, you can reach Uluppuni by taking Pullikkanam Elappara Road. The other route is from Moolamattam which is a completely off-road route. Most four-wheelers would not reach the destination point, but a little trekking is always fun, isn’t it? Kerala is blessed with so much of greenery unlike other destinations in India. The meadows and tea estates are the real contributors of this natural beauty.
Meadows are of ecological importance because they are open, sunny areas that attract and support flora and fauna that couldn’t thrive in other conditions.
