About Vagamon
The peaceful, untouched hill station of Vagamon is a gorgeous highland paradise nestled gracefully on the fringe of the Western Ghats mountain range. Often referred to by travelers as the "Scotland of Asia," the destination is famous for its cool climate, endless green meadows, and thick Pine Forests planted during the British era. The region possesses a rare, harmonious cultural blend, beautifully represented by three distinct nearby hills: the Hindu sacred site of Kurisumala , the Christian pilgrimage peak of Kurisumala Ashram , and the revered Muslim shrine at Thangal Para . Vagamon has emerged as the definitive adventure tourism hub of Kerala, widely celebrated for hosting international paragliding festivals on its windy, expansive ridges. For nature lovers, the town offers a quiet, uncrowded alternative to busier hill stations, showcasing breathtaking engineering feats like the Vagamon Glass Bridge —India's longest cantilever glass bridge.
