Imagine playing Tarzan for a couple of days. You are lodged high up in a tree house, bang in the middle of Kerala's tropical rainforest. If you are lucky, there might even be a stream flowing right by your lodge, its whispering serving as a lullaby as you lie in the verandah and gaze into a sky filled with millions of stars.



Going up the ladder to live in an eco-friendly treehouse is an experience you must indulge in, the next time you visit God's own country.

Wake up to the sound of birds chirping on your porch, peek out of the windows to see the branches fanned out and a spectacular top-angle view of the valley or the forest, go up and down a rope ladder or a cane lift and dig into local Keralite cuisine.

The best part about living so close to nature is that you still have modern amenities including running water and electricity at your disposal, mostly produced with a combination of solar power and 'gobar gas'. Now with the slushy rains gone, and the receding October heat, it might just be the perfect time to get atop that tree.

Green Magic Nature Resorts are nestled in the midst of pepper and cardamom fields, about 65 kms from Calicut. Local craftsmen have designed and built the treehouses here utilising local materials and indigenous techniques used by the early inhabitants. They also offer a number of walking trails to explore the area.
