Welcome to Palakkad : things to do list for tourists

My home town is a beautiful place called 'Palakkad'. It is a very laid back village/town which prides itself on lush green paddy fields and lots of history and culture dating back to ages. Growing up there was fun . Getting up at dawn , hovering around my grand mother to see her milk our cow, playing in rain , getting dirty and muddy , listening to chirping birds and so much more It was as if life did not exist beyond that until the real LIFE came !

Palakkad is known for Ayurvedic treatments , which means they use herbs and plants to make medicines and cures even deadly diseases . People come far and wide for this reason and get treated at an affordable cost .'Palakkad fort ' which stands in the center of the town reminds us of the medieval era . There is a quite hill station called 'Neliampathy' which is known for its luscious wild life , waterfalls, paddy fields, long hiking trails and some of the breath taking spots which are to die for . Another beautiful must see place is 'Silent valley National park'' which has wide variety of wild animals and known for its natural beauty .

Some of the must try food items are Idli, Dosa, puttu and kadala curry , kerala style kozhi curry , idiappam and stew. Of course there are many others as well , but the ones I have listed are a must try which will leave you licking your fingers and wanting for more .
