Grampi, also known as Parunthupara (eagle rock) is situated
about 5 kms. from Peermede. It is known so due to the
panoramic view from its high peaks. Rocky plains, lush
hillsides, forests, trekking trails and picturesque views
provide charm to this destination. The road to Grampi is
flanked by the unending stretches of cardamom, tea and coffee
plantations.
Pattumala
Pattumala literally means the hill draped in silk. Lofty
peaks, little streams and ever expanding tea plantations are
the major attractions of this place. Pattumala is home to the
two most famous tea plantations - Harrisons Malayalam and AV
Thomas & Co. The Velamkanni Matha Church, built entirely of
granite, at the top of the hill is a famous pilgrimage centre.
The flower garden nearby is a fascinating riot of colours, of
roses, orchids and anthurium. |

Vagamon
Grass covered hills, velvet lawns and the cool mountains
make Vagamon a perfect holiday retreat. This hillside
village is a curious blend of religious mysticism and
European legacies, and a heaven of tranquility. The
chain of three hills such as Thangal hills, Murugan
Hills and Kurisumala marks the religious harmony. The
