Palakkad

Lies At The Foot of Gigantic Western Ghats
Palakkad lies at the foot of gigantic Western ghats, on the border of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. This district with mountains, forest and fertile valleys, rivers and mountain streams are rich in flora and fona. The Sahya ranges bordering the region and the 20 mile gap in the mountains exert a dominant influence on the climate of the region. Many rivers that flow in the Bharatapuzha, the life line of Kerala, arise from these mountains.
