About Thenmala Tourism
Located about 72 km from Thiruvananthapuram, and about 160 m above sea level, Thenmala is a small village at the foothills of the Western Ghats and is predominantly a forest area. It is the first planned ecotourism project in India and the famous Shenduruney Wildlife Sanctuary is found here. Then means honey and Mala
means hillock. It is thus named after the famous honey that is produced
here. This honey also has medicinal value because of the unique floral
composition of the forests. Thenmala offers visitors a chance to have fun and adventure while learning about being eco friendly.
