Ramakkalmedu- where the earth touch the sky

Wonderful hill station in the Idukki district of Kerala. Ramakalmedu stands tall in the western ghats at a height of 3500 feet above sea level. Here one can move up to the tip of the rock and feel to be at the top of the world. The ecosystem of the area largely comprises grass land Shola forest type which is laced by sporadic bamboo forests. Speciality of the wind flow is another factor which makes Ramakkalmedu unique. Wind blows at a speed around 35 km per hour at Ramakkalmedu throughout the year irrespective of the season and time. You will have to experience it to understand how much it will rejuvenate you. Abundant in wind, Ramakkalmedu is the second place in Kerala where a wind energy farm is installed.
