Kanthalloor
Kanthallur is a tranquil village located in the Devikulam taluk of Idukki district, Kerala, celebrated for its rich cultural heritage and unique agricultural practices. Nestled in the Western Ghats, this charming village is renowned for its scenic beauty, cool climate, and a landscape that is both picturesque and fertile.
One of the most distinctive features of Kanthallur is its agricultural diversity. The village is famous for being the only place in Kerala where apples are commercially cultivated. The apple orchards, along with plantations of peaches, plums, pears, and strawberries, add to the village’s allure, making it a unique destination in the state. The temperate climate of Kanthallur, coupled with its fertile soil, allows for the cultivation of a variety of fruits and vegetables that are typically grown in colder regions, offering visitors a rare glimpse of high-altitude farming in Kerala.
Kanthallur is also home to numerous ancient dolmens, megalithic structures that speak of the village’s historical significance. These prehistoric sites are scattered across the village, adding an archaeological dimension to the natural beauty of the area. The village’s rich cultural tapestry is further enriched by its tribal communities, who have preserved their traditional ways of life, including unique culinary practices and dance forms.
Surrounded by lush forests and hills, Kanthallur offers a serene environment that is perfect for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat. The village is a gateway to several other natural attractions in the region, including waterfalls, viewpoints, and the famous Marayur jaggery fields, known for producing some of the finest jaggery in Kerala.
Kanthallur's reputation as a model tourism village was solidified when it received the prestigious Gold award from the Government of India for Best Rural Tourism Projects.
