Also there are elephants, deer, tiger and bison among others.  One can see water flowing down between the rocks on the way up especially during Monsoon. The place is calm and enlivening. Though the mountain trekking is a bit arduous, once you reach the top, the surroundings will surely make you forget yourself.  A day spent here with your family or friends is sure to gift you with unforgettable memories which anyone would wish to relish. It would just take a day to go around the place. It is a must-watch paradise, when you are in Kerala- God’s Own Country.}
