Kerala has decided to identify and map the popular trekking and hiking routes in 50 select locations. The move is part of bringing adventure travellers close to nature and enabling them to experience the diverse natural wonders of the State.
Despite the State being blessed with backwaters, mountains and other natural wonders, it is one of the least tapped destinations for adventure travellers in the country. The State government has given permission to the Kerala Adventure Tourism Promotion Society (KATPS) to map the routes.
The society will upload the online maps of the routes on the website of Kerala Tourism with all relevant details, including the trekking routes where the service of a guide is required and the hiking routes where tourists can climb the peaks or wade through water without the help of trainers.
