Excellent trek. Beware of the 'shortcuts' in between though. High chances of getting lost. Awesome experience. Some 3-4km to trek

Nice place??? Palkulamedu is an incredibly beautiful place which is a guaranteed refreshment for a travelling soul. located at a distance of 12 km from Idukki in Kerala. It is addressed at an elevation of 3125 meters above from the sea level. It is an ideal destination for adventure makers and trekkers. A small fresh water pool at the top of the hill adds up another jewel to the enchanting beauty. Its due to this pool, the hill was awarded the name Pal-kulam-medu, which means a hill with pool of nutritious water in Malayalam. A view of the Periyar gorge from the Palkulamedu Peak is much admirable. The vast spans of evergreen Hills, one after another fills till the horizon and the beautiful view of Sunset and Sunrise gives makes this place an ideal view point. Through the quiet roads, the trek to Palkulamedu is through Muyalpara . The trek begins from the waterfalls. Till Mulyalpara, the trail goes through the plantations, revenue lands and forest. There are various types of medicinal plants, herbs and small streams inside this forest. From the base of muyalpara, we can see the Cheruthoni dam which is  part of the Idukki Hydroelectric Project, along with two other dams at Idukki and Kulamavu. Also near by is the  'Bhagavan Thotti '. Legend says that the Pandavas spent few days at this place and they prayed to Lord Siva. It is also said that Lord Hanuman sent an arrow from here as a result of which the mountain  moved back . Further trek goes through grass lands. Finally when you reach the top of the Palkulamedu it is an ideal fusion of pleasant weather and plentiful greenery. There is a cross on top of Palkulamedu where devotees  come on Good Friday. From this spot, we can have a distant view of  towns, including Munnar. You can also hear the whistle of the soft wind as it blows through  the mountains. The beauty of Palkulamedu is indescribable and it offers the perfect ambiance of the nature.

Feels like a mini paradise. Mind-blowing experience. About 4 kms of best off road track. We can experience mist, wind and can also see elephants. Some rare flowers are growing here. Slippery and Dangerous at the time of rain. Take some water with you. One of the best place to visit.
