The peaceful and bucolic district of Palakkad is made up of a vast expanse of verdant plains interspersed by mountains, rivers, streams and forests. It sits in a quiet corner of central Kerala and acts as a corridor between Kerala and Tamil Nadu, as well as northern and southern Kerala. Predominantly agricultural, the region is home to one of the best-preserved forts in the state, built by Hyder Ali in 1766. We feel visiting Palakkad is highly rewarding and offers an off-the-beaten track experience in quintessential rural Kerala.
