Kindling flame on the mountains / Wearing the anklet of Periyar river / Idukki is a girl smiling profusely // It is the richly wet land that fills Kerala’s cash-pouch… This is how a Malayalam movie song glorifies Idukki, Kerala’s mountainous district whose territory rises to altitudes of over 6,000 feet at many points and is known for its breathtaking natural beauty, spice gardens, tea plantations, steep-falling rivers, dense jungles and sprawling meadows.
