Sightseeing Highlights:

 

Besides the scenic tours of the ghats and forests, one can go to visit Aranmula, a traditional, picturesque village that has been declared as an international tourism destination. It offers a peek into the life of rural Kerala and is famous for its many specialized handicrafts. Another popular place is Charalkunnu, which offers panoramic views of the river.  There is also the Kakki Reservoir wildlife sanctuary nearby.

 

Other Activities:

 

The churches and Mosques too occupy a prominent place for tourists. Visitors can also go to the 8th century Thekekudi cave temple in Kaviyoor.

 

Located in Kerala, near the Western Ghats and surrounded by hills, Pathanamthitta district has stretches of forests, rivers and rural landscapes. It is also famous for its many fairs and festivals. It is a rich biodiverse region and has many plantations and spice farms. Pathanamthitta is nourished by three west flowing rivers - Pamba, Manimala and Achankovil and is quite popular as a wild life and bird sanctuary. One of the most important pilgrimage centres for Hindus lies here at Sabarimala, dedicated to Lord Ayyappan.
