Palakkad (The Gateway Of Kerala)

Arrive in Palakkad by road or rail and take the morning to

settle in your hotel rooms and have a sumptuous breakfast. Stroll

the city streets and take a whiff of the street life of this city. There

are many snacks shops serving pakoras, fried bananas and the

famous parotta. In the evening, leave for the Jainmedu temples

located on the banks of the Kalpathy River. This austere temple is

one of the last remaining monuments of Jain culture in Kerala, and

the location makes this palace a must visit.

Proceed to the Palakkad fort located in the heart of the city.

It was built by Haider Ali of Mysore in the late 1700 and later used

by the British. In the evening, proceed to the Malamppuzha Dam

located a few kilometres from the city. The beautiful backwaters

and gardens developed in the premises make it a favourite tourist

spot.

Proceed to the Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary located

about 100 kilometres away from the city. Spend the day in the

forest and get a chance to view some rare animals like elephants,

deer, leopards and a large number of birds. Enjoy the boating

facilities and tree houses built in the heart of the forest.
