Spice Plantation Tour
One of the major spices produced in the area is cardamom. The variety, Cardamom Small, botanically known as Elettaria Cardamom, is the one that is mostly grown here. It is a great feeling to mesmerize in the lap of Nature, smelling the fresh aromatic air, almost like waking up in a green paradise that is far removed from our flawed planet.
