Dear Nature Lovers
OikoEssence along with its participants had a lovely
time in Kerala. Days were full of observing Biodiversity, learning local
culture and off-course devouring local food.
Kerala has almost recovered from the flood effects and
the routine has started normally.
During this camp we visited Thattekad, Chinnar
wildlife Sanctury , eravikulum National ParkEand Munnar. The performances we
saw of Kathakali and Kalaripayyattu (Considered as oldest Marshal Art) were amazing.
The forest is charming that supports a vast variety Flora
and Fauna. We visited tropical evergreen, deciduous and Shola forest types. We also got to see the remaining mass flowering
