Experience Southwest Monsoon in full glory by camping above the clouds in Vagamon through monsoon showers. Camping is an activity that takes you as far away from civilization & as close to nature as possible. Exoticamp's Camp above the clouds - Kerala does exactly that. It takes you right out of your cubicles, hectic city life, mundane routine and puts you right into Natures wonderland called Vagamon. Vagamon also called the Scotland of Asia is a gorgeous little hill station located in Idukki district of Kerala. With people frequenting even tiniest of the hill stations around us Vagamon comes as a breath of fresh air that still remains untouched.
