Malakkapara
About the place
Malakkapara is a very quiet place that is found on the borders of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. This is located in Thrissur district of Kerala. Though the place is stunningly beautiful, but because of lack of many tourists to this place, it is not maintained well. The tea plantations owned and managed by Tata Tea are found in plenty here and adds to the mystic charm of the place. The dense forest lands are owned and managed by the Vazhachal and Malayattur Forest Departments. These thick forests are home to some of the rarest species of flora and fauna in the country. Malakkapara is about 89km from Chalakudy and 86km from Pollachi in Tamil Nadu.
