Nearing the top of the peak - Meesapulimalai trek   When you think of treks and India what comes to mind are the towering Himalayan ranges and not the mountains in Southern India. However people have been pleasantly surprised by the variety and terrains that are on offer to the nature lovers in Southern India. The highest peak south of the Himalayas is in Kerala, the Anamudi Peak. At a height of  2696 meters ( 8842 feet ) it might not seem as imposing as the peaks in the Himalayas but it is still a spectacular mountain. Sadly all access to the peak is now out of bounds to the general public as it falls in the core zone of the Eravikulam National Park and is necessary to ensure the well being of the wildlife and highly fragile ecosystem. If the sheer numbers of tourists who visit the tourism zone of the park is an indication of popularity of the region it would indeed be a disaster to allow any tourist activities anywhere in the vicinity of Anamudi. The good news howe...

Rithu D M C   It was after a lot of deliberation that we settled on the name Rithu meaning “Seasons” in Sanskrit. Each season brings with it elation and aspirations, the joyful exhilaration as the first monsoon showers hit the earth after the dry summer season, the joyous festivities that accompany the harvest festivals and the colorful attire of the festive season changes around the year! Each season brings with it hope, joys abound and determination to make the best of what it brings its way. We thought it aptly describes the concept behind the company! We hope to show you our country all around the year as there is something or the other that will fascinate you! Interestingly Rithu also means ‘seasons’ in many Indian languages including Malayalam the language spoken in Kerala. Our logo reflects this, it sa...
