The Harrisons Malayalam Plantation in Varandarappilly, Kerala, is home to India’s most beautiful cricket ground, a hidden oasis in a sea of green canopy.
A remote cricket ground in Kerala, India, has been getting a lot of attention online because of its unique location, tucked away in the center of a lush tree plantation. Seen from the air, the breathtaking site looks like a clearing in the Amazon rainforests of South America, but it’s actually one of the hidden gems of Kerala, aka ‘God’s Own Country’. Originally set up by the Harrison Malayalam company decades ago, as a place where its plantation workers could relax, the remote cricket ground, accessible via a narrow, tree-lined road that is invisible from above and on most maps, has become a sanctuary both for plantation employees and locals.
