A tranquil viewpoint near Thekkady offering panoramic views of a waterfall and the agricultural plains of Tamil Nadu's Cumbum valley.
Chellarkovil is a small, quiet village located on the border of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, about 15 kilometers from the main town of Kumily in Thekkady. The main draw here is the viewpoint, which provides a dramatic, sweeping view of the plains of Tamil Nadu. From this vantage point, you can see the lush green hills of Kerala drop away to the flat, agricultural lands of the neighboring state, dotted with farms, vineyards, and small towns. It creates a striking contrast in landscapes.
