A landlocked district, Idukki is one of the most nature rich areas of Kerala.
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 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.
