Banasura Hill Resort

By Aishwarya Iyengar

This hill station is named after the mythical character Banasura who was the son of Bali from the Ramayana.

We started from Bangalore at around 12 noon in a tremendous ride and reached the resort by 10 pm. It was not a typical road trip as we went in a tempo traveller.

Banasura hill resort is spread across 35 acres’ verdant terrain and tucked away at an altitude of 3500 feet above sea level.

Crafted from nature ,it is truly nature heaven and gives a rustic vibe that zaps you back in time.

If you are looking for relaxation and tranquility or rejuvenation of mind, body and spirit, this is just the place for you.

This place has a sprightly stream that gurgles perennially through the property and a tumultuous waterfall cascades thunderously down a rocky wedge.

DAY1: We reached Banasura Resort at 10pm and their welcome drink was jaggery ginger ale which was very soothing to the sore throat.

DAY 2: There was a trek planned to the Banasura Hill, which was right behind the property around 20 km. It was drizzling throughout the day and infested with leeches.

DAY 3: It was lazy as all of us were tired, we basked in nature and had a sumptuous breakfast buffet. Then went to the elephant rock and a tiny cliff inside the property itself.

This was one of the best places that I have visited in Kerala, trust me all of you must go here this monsoon before the rain vanishes!

Stay tuned for more on adventure.
