  • Keralda/India) Ecology and Landscape in an Isolated Indian National Park Photos: Ian Lockwood
    IAN LOCKWOOD Eravikolam and the High Range (Keralda/India) Ecology and Landscape in an Isolated Indian National Park Photos: Ian Lockwood The southern Indian state of Kerala has long been recognized for its remarkable human development indicators. It has the country’s highest literary rates, lowest infant mortality rates and highest life expectancy. With 819 people per km2 Kerala is also one of the densest populated states in India. It is thus surprising to find one of the India’s loneliest and least disturbed natural landscapes in the mountainous region of Kerala known as the High Range. Here a small 97 km2 National Park called Eraviku- lam gives a timeless sense of the Western Ghats before the widespread encroachment of plantation agriculture, hydro- electric schemes, mining and human settlements. he High Range is a part of the Western Ghats, a heterogeneous chain of mountains and hills that separate the moist Malabar and Konkan Coasts from the semi-arid interiors of the TDekhan plateau. They play a key role in direct- ing the South Western monsoon and providing water to the plateau and the coastal plains. Starting at the southern tip of India at Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin), the mountains rise abruptly from the sea and plains. The Western Ghats continue in a nearly unbroken 1,600 km mountainous spine and end at the Tapi River on the border between Maharashtra and Gujarat. Bio- logically rich, the Western Ghats are blessed with high rates of endemism. In recent years as a global alarm has sounded on declining biodiversity, the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka have been designated as one of 25 “Global Biodiversity Hotspots” by Conservation Inter- national.

    Mattupetty Dam Munnar, Kerala MattupettyMattupetty Dam Dam Munnar Boating at Mattupetty Dam Located a little way off Munnar, the Mattupetty dam is a popular item on a day itinerary from Munnar. Dams all over the world, with their display of man's might over nature, have always attracted visitors. As have bodies of water. The Mattupetty dam and the lake as well, has therefore attracted a considerable number of travelers. Also, the fact that it is set in the backdrop of verdant rolling slopes, makes it ideal for a picnic, or just a small stop. Opened in 1953, the Dam is a concrete gravity dam. Not only is it a major tourist draw, but the hydro-electric power it generates is a major revenue source for the state of Kerala. The dam is well-maintained and the reservoir lake is clean. The gates of the dam are small, and even when open, the huge gushing noise of water characteristic of larger dams is absent here. Attractions and activities at the Mattupetty Dam 1. Boating: Speed boats are a must-do activity here. Majorly, because they are a good way to enjoy the beauty of the lake, and there is nothing much to do here, otherwise. As the boat moves along the water, the green reflections of the surrounding verdure, have a very calming effect on the passenger. 2. A stroll on the banks of the lake: The banks of the lake have just about enough trees to make the idea of a stroll through them inviting. One can always follow it up with a nice foot- dipping session at the lake.
