Munnar to the Peaks: A Decade of Adventure

From Munnar to the Peaks: A Decade of Adventure" chronicles a transformative era for adventure tourism in Kerala’s Idukki district. During a pivotal ten-year period (1987-1997) as Secretary of the Idukki District Mountaineering Association, I helped pioneer trekking, rock climbing, and mountaineering training programs that popularized outdoor sports locally and among tourists. The association forged vital partnerships with government agencies and adventure organizations, improved safety awareness, and enhanced infrastructure for climbers. These efforts established Idukki as a renowned mountaineering destination, spurring local tourism and economic growth, while preserving the region’s breathtaking natural landscapes for future generations. A lasting legacy endures.
