Things to see and do in Palakkad

Palakkad

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.
