Much of Kerala's foreign appeal is focused in the highland area of the Western Ghats. Growing to an average height of 1520 m, the tropical forests of the ghats house wealthy flora and fauna. Not to speak of stretches of loamy plantations of rubber, tea, coffee and fragrant cardamom.

Some of the most hill stations are:
Munnar Hill Station
Ponmudi Hill Station
Chithirapuram Hill Station
Devikulam Hill Station
Idukki Hill Station
Nelliyampathy Hill Station
Attappady Hill Station
Pythal Mala Hill Station Tusharagiri Hill Station
