A stay at forest lodge by Kerala Forest Development Corporation (KFDC) at Pakuthippalam, deep inside the Nelliyampathy reserve, offers an unforgettable experience. At night, a bear may scratch on your door. A wild tusker could launch an attack anytime. Or there might be the deadly king cobra crawling somewhere nearby.
However, a trip to Pakuthippalam to observe Lion-tailed macaques, Giant squirrels and Great hornbills is also thrilling. The journey can be started around noon from Thrissur. Take the Palakkad route and then deviate to the right from Vadakkumcherry to the Nenmara road. As travellers approach Nenmara, a pleasing sight awaits them - the wide expanse of the green paddy fields. Nenmara, a small town in Palakkad district, is well-known for the high yield of paddy.
According to historians, Palakkad was earlier called 'Palai Nilam' which translates as 'dry land' in Tamil. But the hard work of farmers has now transformed the barren area into productive agriculture land. The road cuts through the paddy fields and reaches the Pothundy dam.
