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,
