Illithode is situated along the banks of the Periyar River, near Malayattoor in Ernakulam district. The dense forest on either side of the beautiful flowing river makes for a calm and beautiful scenery. The trail meandering through the tall trees with bird calls in the distance provides a delightful experience, making it a perfect addition to places to visit in Kerala. Dipping your feet in the Periyar with smooth pebbles under your feet adds an element of connection to nature.
The visit gains cultural and ecological depth from nearby attractions, including the Malayattoor Church and forest reserve. It is an ideal place for picnics with family or nature walks for couples, or just sitting by the river by yourself. The natural beauty of the place also provides ample photo opportunities, as the place looks straight out of a storybook.
