Known as the granary of Kerala, Palakkad is a land of valleys, hillocks, rivers, forests, mountain streams and dams. The environs are beautiful, but the town has all the simple delights of a small village.

Try the famed Kanchipuram idlis made fresh by a family. Have some hot freshly brewed coffee. Check out if there are any festivals happening in the area. Nearby a well-preserved 18th century fort is a sight worth visiting.

But for the rest, Palakkad is a place which allows you to observe craftsmen at work and visit working farms.

Palakkad (Palghat) lies on the highway linking Kochi with Coimbatore. Celebrated as the granary of Kerala, Palakkad district is a vast expanse of verdant plains interspersed with hills, rivers, mountains streams and forests.
