Idukki

A landlocked district, Idukki is one of the most nature rich areas of Kerala. Three main rivers - Periyar, Thalayar and Thodupuzhayar - and their tributaries, gird high ranges and wooded valleys. The river Pamba also has its origin here. As a tourist destination, Idukki offers diverse attractions like wildlife sanctuaries, hill stations, spice plantation tours, mountain treks, elephant rides etc. Idukki has a large population of tribals, the main tribes being Muthuvan, Malayarayan, Mannan, Paliyan, Urali, Ulladan, malavedan and Malampandaram. The tribes of Kerala have unique customs and beliefs and maintain an ethos, which is distinctly different from that of the mainstream culture.
