A pleasant climate all year round, endless velvety hills of tea gardens with lush, narrow valleys and serpentine streams make Vagamon beautiful no matter which way you look.
A drive along its hairpin-bend roads with old, majestic pine trees on either side is a dream-like experience. Hikers find it an even more blissful experience. The hill station comprises a chain of three magnificent hills called Murugan hill, Thangal hill and Kurismala hill - important spiritual destinations for Hindus, Muslims and Christians, respectively. The mystical atmosphere of Vagamon sets it apart from other hill stations.
Vagamon is an adventurer's paradise with options for trekking, paragliding, rock climbing and cycling. The Kerala Tourism Department and the Adventure Sports and Sustainable Tourism Academy (AASTA) conduct the International Paragliding Festival in Vagamon every year much to the delight of adventure sport enthusiasts.
