The western ghats mountain ranges dominate the eastern
border of Kerala, in India. For centuries these thickly forested
& imposing mountains acted as natural barriers for this narrow
stretch of land. It is therefore natural that these mountain ranges
have some of the most spectacular trekking routes for those in
search of pure adventure. The forests of the Periyar tiger reserve
and the mountains of Munnar make the journey an affair to be remembered.
A land locked district, Iduk ki is one of the most nature rich areas
of Kerala. The high ranges and wooded valleys are girded by three
main rivers – Periyar, Thalayar, and Thodupuzhayar- and their
tributaries. The river Pamba also has its origin here. As a tourist
destination, Idukki offers diverse attractions like wildlife sanctuaries,
hill stations, spice plantations tours, mountain treks, elephant
rides etc.
Idukki
has a large population of tribals who have unique customs and beliefs
and maintain an ethos which is distinctly different from that of
the mainstream culture
