Thats called sholayar,its around 100 km away from cochin,that around 2 -3 hours.Its basically where u will get a chance to see lot of wild elephants.

Wild elephants in that area are non bothered kind unlike the ones that is seen in northern Kerala.

LOL, yeah, but there are some nice chutes leading down from there which I could have easily skied at the time, problem is there is no 'out', one mistake and you slide into a crevasse, just not my cup of tea.
