Thekkaddy Excursion
Kumily: (4 km from Thekkady): This plantation town, closely associated with
Thekkady, is situated on the outskirts of the Periyar Sanctuary. An important
shopping centre and spice trade centre, the main bus station and most of the
medium range accommodation in the Periyar region are in Kumily.
Murikkady (5 km from Thekkady): Washed in fresh spice scented air, Murikkady
is a panorama of cardamom, coffee and pepper plantations.
Pandikuzhi (5 km from Kumily): This picturesque spectrum of exotic flora,
fauna and gurgling streams is cradled between Chellarkovil and the Tamil Nadu
border.
A popular picnic spot, Pandikuzhi offers great opportunities for trekking and
is a photographer's delight.
Mangala Devi Temple: (15 km from Thekkady): The ancient temple is hidden
in the dense woods at the top of a peak 1337 m above sea level. The temple is
built in the traditional Kerala style of architecture. Visitors are allowed
here only on the Chithra Pournami festival day. The peak commands a panoramic
view of the eastern slopes of the ghats and some hill villages of Tamil Nadu.
Permission to visit the area can be obtained from the Wildlife Warden, Thekkady.
