Adventure Off Road Biking At Munnar


Munnar is one of the most amazing and exotic hill stations in India and is well known for its natural beauty and resources. People from different places visit Munnar to enjoy its scenic beauty, tea plantations, lakes, waterfalls and more. But one area which is yet to be utilized fully is the potentiality of adventure activities at Munnar. Munnar is one of the best place for adventure activities and the tourism department needs to take necessary steps in improving the scope of adventure tourism in Munnar.

One such adventure activity that I enjoyed in Munnar is the off-road biking adventure at Pallivasal near Munnar. The adventure activity is offered by a adventure team named as "Fun Forest" and they have a large area of land which is considered as an amazing adventure spot. There are many adventure activities such as rope climbing, net climbing, horizontal ladder, Burma bridge, valley crossing, rock climbing, tyre walk etc.

But the off road biking on a quad bike was really the one that I opted for and really enjoyed the ride. The cost for a ride was Rs 500/ and the distance covers approximately around 1 km. But initially it is something worth and you will find it really amazing. So if you are an adventure enthusiast and is planning for a trip to Munnar, I highly recommend you to take the Quad Bike adventure and other activities at the "Fun Forest" at Pallivasal.

The address of this adventure park is given below.
