Coffee tree
vanila tree
jaifal tree
javitri tree
supari tree
garam mashala tree
elaichi tree
kaju tree
peri peri chili tree
..At the outset, I did not have much expectation about the place and thought it was another place to capitalize on the tourist surge. However, my perception turned wrong with the kind of warm welcome that was accorded with a tilak and garland, a welcome drink (warm tea) and some cheeselets. A guide takes us through the place in groups of about 10 people around the 1.5 kms walk. Starting with different kinds of spice plants and explaining its medicinal properties, its a good treat for those who love nature and natural foods. The lunch is included in the 400 INR package and is surely worth the effort. Food is good and the spread is decent.
