Vagamon in Idukki district, Kerala, India, is often described as the Scotland of Asia with its rolling grasslands and scenic beauty.

Three hills; Thangal hill, Murukan hill and Kurishumala surround this place with immense possibilities for eco-tourism. This hill station has within it a fine blend of natural beauty, colonial legacy and religious mysticism. Vagamon is ideal for trekking and sightseeing.

To add to all these, Vagamon is the only place in Kerala where paragliding facility is available. With an altitude of 3000 metres above sea level, the 10 kilometres long ridge here is an ideal place for paragliding, according to the enthusiasts of this sport who come here from all over the world.

Recently, the Adventure Sports and Sustainable Tourism Academy (ASSTA) organised an International Paragliding Festival to promote the possibilities of this adventurous sport.
