Manmade forest

Engineer Nellikkuzhi Kuriakkose Kurian left his business in Dubai to create Mango Meadows Agriculture Pleasure Land, a human-made biodiversity park and homestay

Once a plot of land with merely 40-50 mango trees and two huge tamarind trees, today, it boasts of more than 2,500 trees.

It all began when Pompayya noticed the scrubby patch of land on the other side of the canal, that bordered his property, lie empty and transform into a general purpose dumping ground.
