Found at Vythiri, the Green Magic Treehouse is by all accounts a peaceful and serene rainforest location in which to bed down for the night – but it's probably not for the fainthearted, as the structures sway atop stilt supports among the treetops, some 85 feet above the undergrowth below!
Fully-fitted and with verandas to boot, the treehouses were built among giant ficus trees – thin but apparently sturdy – with eco-friendly materials like bamboo plus the ancient building techniques employed by local tribespeople. Access to the rooms is by an intimidating wicker cage hauled up to the canopy using a pulley system.
This, coupled with an undulating rope suspension bridge up top means that no amount of repose here will alleviate a serious fear of heights. The jungle chorus may sound enchanting and the sun rays through the foliage might be delightful, but the fact remains that it's a long way to plummet to earth.
