Escape To Wilderness-Kambamala Eco tourism-Wayanad

Eco tourism -A New Dimension in Tourism

Our team clearly confused for getting the root from mananthavady town to our destination were no sign boards has been sited, The sign boards of Kerala forest development corporation placed alongside the state highways of the Mananthavady –Telechery , apart from doing their regular duty of giving distance information, gives the road traveller an introduction to the names of the tourist spots in the vicinity.

Kambamala eco tourism was introduced to me by the sign boards near to the Thalapuzha in the SH section. I always had many doubts about the theme taken for the eco tourism. Will there be a caged section where flora and fauna will be housed together, or will it be a artificial greenery like tea or silk trees  . Whenever I enquired about this place in my office, they always told me it will be a better place to get leisure. I travelled with my office ATIO Mr.Jabir ,VLE coordinator MR.Ajesh and tourist guide Mr.Sabu Abraham  ,The road leading from main road has no proper alignment and not in good condition ,We have got warm welcome by kfdc field officer Mr.jayaraj,The office sited in fog front valley of tea plantation. We seated in old office in front of him  ,After a lime tea we started our journey to the proposed site ,Jeep  are the main mode of transportation to upside the way brings music of great Indian hornbill as well in humming of blowing wind, we shivered due to the early heavy rain .We visited the accommodation facilities provided by the kfdc for visitors ,it was neat and simple having an average quality for toilets ,But an awkward feels given by the exterior of building ,the walls finished abruptly and roofed by asbestos sheets, No direct electricity and power getting from diesel engine, They are expecting direct electricity soon  ,the floors are tiled with ceramic and false sealing also provided, This rooms situated at the boundary line of dense reserve forest and tea estate ,the main attraction is the visitor can experience forest and tea plantation in single scenario .

           

In meanwhile we moved to the project proposed site by Kfdc with aid of Kerala tourism, fast blowing wind towards valley moved foggy clouds from our way, our team climb down at the site, this site selected for giving full degree view for visitors as well the roomies.Kfdc has proposed ten stay rooms with balconies in either sides of hill. I really wondered about the velocity of wind blowing through the project proposed hilltop

It was a praised experience in Kambamala eco tourism were nature in peace, definitely a must visit place,I assure District tourism will get a fillip  with kambamala Eco-tourism project
