Kerala Style House Elevation

Kovalam, a hill station in Kerala is situated at an altitude of 8500 feet. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in India that offers a unique experience of natural beauty, mesmerizing panoramas and magnificent landscapes. The land is dotted with coconut groves, beautiful backwaters and lush green plantations. The hill station is blessed with a large variety of flora and fauna like tigers, elephants, peacocks, deer, buffaloes and many more. This place offers a wonderful opportunity for tourists to explore their curiosity about nature.

The most exciting part of a Kerala Style house is the terrace or veranda, which is built up of bamboo or wood. You will find many traditional houses which are built up of stone or brick. These houses are considered to be traditional because they have not been renovated from time immemorial. But the house elevation is a lot higher than that of other houses constructed in the recent times. The house is situated at a height of eight to ten stories above the ground level. This type of elevation provides the best view of the surroundings. Since the house is situated high above the ground it allows a view of a panoramic view of the surroundings from the top of the house.
