Start your first day in Pallakad by visiting the Malampuzha Dam which is a picturesque spot offering a range of activities for all ages. Here you can enjoy boating, rock climbing, rope cycling, and even a toy train ride. Take a stroll in the lush green gardens surrounding the dam and click some memorable family photos. There are various food stalls around the area where you can have a Kaappa and some tasty snacks.
On your second day, head to the Fantasy Park, an amusement park that offers a variety of thrilling rides for all ages. The park also includes a water park, a Snow Park and 5D cinema. Your family can have a great fun-filled time here enjoying the attractions throughout the day. If you’re planning to spend an extended period here then keep in mind bathing suits and hats are essential as the park has a Water Splash area.
Spend your last day in Pallakad sightseeing at the Silent Valley National Park, a UNESCO-recognized national park that offers stunning views of the region. The rainforest landscape is home to rare birds and animals like the Malabar Hornbill and Lion Tailed Macaque. Trekking is the ideal way of exploring the park although it can be done for a maximum of 10km at a stretch without permission. Remember that mobile phones are not allowed in the park so keep enough time and battery in hand.
If you have an additional day, you can explore the Nelliyampathy Hills which is famous for its tea and coffee plantations. Also, you can skip Silent Valley National Park if you want a more relaxed day and visit Palakkad Fort or Dhoni Waterfalls instead. Carry enough water, sunscreen and keep lightweight clothing to protect you from the scorching sun.
