Thenmala is India's first planned Eco-tourism destination and was selected by the World Tourism Organisation as a premier eco-friendly project. A visit to Thenmala includes the Nakshatravanam, a nursery of trees considered to be sacred to the 27 constellations. People throng to this grove to take home saplings of the tree related to their birth star. A boat ride in the majestic Shenduruney Wildlife Sanctuary will cap off a memorable trip to Thenmala.
