Ramakkalmedu

Ramakelmedu is about four to five KMs off from Thookupalam which is on the Kumily-Katappana Road. And Katapanna could be just above 150 KMs from the Cochin International Airport.

Raakalmedu, Thookupalam, Kumily, Idukki Dt., has a lot of Special reserve plantation area of which we visited 200 cents quoted for 2500000 at INR 12500 per cent. However, the 1 KM of unsurfaced slushy, high sloping, skidding road was a frightening  experience and it was the skill and wizardy of the Jeep driver that saved the visitors and the agents. 
The land is cleared for replanting cardamom. Touch-me-nots have sprung up quickly forming a green carpet
Good shade bearing trees have been spared while clearing for replanting.

Situated over 160 Kms approximately from both CIAL or Madurai airports, it offers good views if one walks a KM away from the site. The views of the TN border which is as close as a couple of KM in some places and one can walk across to TN.  Ground water levels could be 50 feet or more below. Shafique & Ashraf are the agents. However, with this site being in the back of the beyond it is too far from airport & hospital for us to shortlist or even consider.
