How about a trip to the serene lush green hills of Kasargod? Ranipuram is a fairly unexplored hill there, and a trekking trip would be ideal for a perfect weekend plan!<\/p>\n<p>Situated 750 m above sea level in Western Ghats, Ranipuram is popularly known as Ooty of Kerala. This green capped hill has varied vegetation ranging from grasslands, monsoon forests to evergreen Shola woods. The forests of Ranipuram are so vast, that it merges its borders with Thalacauvery wildlife sanctuary of the neighbouring state of Karnataka.<\/p>\n<p>This forest forms habitat for more than 24 species of wild animals, mainly elephants. Wild boars, monkeys and deers are also found in abundance in these dense jungles. To enjoy the beauty and serenity of Ranipuram, you can stay in DTPC cottages in Panathady valley.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4196 size-full\" title=\"Ranipuram\" src=\"https:\/\/paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ranipuram.jpg\" alt=\"Ranipuram\" width=\"640\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ranipuram.jpg 640w, https:\/\/paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/ranipuram-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Image by\u00a0<a class=\"owner-name truncate\" title=\"Go to vivek raj's photostream\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/natureindyablogspotcom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-track=\"attributionNameClick\" data-rapid_p=\"45\">vivek raj<\/a>\u00a0via Flickr<\/p>\n<p>Apart from this greenery and wildlife, Ranipuram is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/paradise-kerala.com\/blog\/6-popular-trekking-trails-in-kerala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">popular\u00a0trekking destinations in Kerala<\/a>.
