exotic wildlife. These beautiful hill stations of Kerala are also the source of the famous spices of Kerala. Spices such as pepper, cardamom, cinnamon and the cashew nut are grown in the plantations on the hill stations in Kerala. The Dutch and English colonial rulers of Kerala introduced cash crops plantations such as rubber and tea in the 18th and 19th centuries, which has continued till today.<br> <br> Much of kerala's exotic appeal is centred in the highland area of the western ghats. Rising to an average height of 1520 m, the tropical forests of the ghats house rich flora and fauna. Not to speak of expansive, loamy plantations of tea, coffee, rubber and fragrant cardamom. </td> </tr> </table> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="775"> <tr> <td width="566"> <table border="2" width="775" bordercolor="#000000" height="63"> <tr> <td width="224" bgcolor="#B2CD9D" class="tt10" height="43" align="center" rowspan="3"> <p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/hillstation.jpg" width="220" height="90"></p> </td> <td width="434" bgcolor="#B2CD9D" class="tt10" height="16" align="center"> <p class="tt5" align="center"><u>Kerala Hill Station</u> </td> <td width="392" bgcolor="#245C1B" class="tt10" height="16" align="center"> <p style="margin-left: 5"><a href="hillstationpalakkad-kerala.htm" class="tt10">Palakkad</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="434" bgcolor="#245C1B" class="tt10" height="16" align="center"> <a href="hillstationmunnar-kerala.htm" class="tt10"> Munnar</a> </td> <td width="392" bgcolor="#245C1B" class="tt10" height="16" align="center"> <p style="margin-left: 5"><a class="tt10" href="hillstationidukki-kerala.htm">Idukki</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="434" bgcolor="#245C1B" class="tt10" height="1" align="center"> <p style="margin-left: 5"><a href="hillstationponmudi-kerala.htm" class="tt10">Ponmudi</a> </td> <td width="392" bgcolor="#245C1B" class="tt10" height="1" align="center"> <p style="margin-left: 5"><a href="hillstationvagamon-kerala.htm" class="tt10">Vagamon</a> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
