Idukki is one of the largest districts in Kerala and derives its name from the term idukku. The word is of Malayalam origin and means narrow gorge.

Idukki in Kerala is primarily a hill station and well noted for two things- the extensive spice plantations and the various power projects that are established in the hilly terrains of Idukki. This district is an important supplier of electricity which amounts to nearly 80% of the production.

Leaving aside its natural beauty, Idukki is equally famous for the wildlife sanctuaries, Anamudi peak, the highest peak in Kerala, tea and rubber plantations and nature trails. A heaven for nature lovers, Idukki also boasts of having the highest arch dam in entire Asia.

Mother Nature has blessed Idukki with an open heart.
