Useful Tips

If you have extra time, we suggest visiting the Jain Temple, Rock Garden, and Silent Valley national park for a unique experience. In case of any bad weather conditions, it's best to visit the Palakkad Science Centre for children to learn and get involved in interactive activities. Also, make sure to carry snacks and water when going around to places like Dhoni Waterfalls and Tipu Sultan Fort, as there aren't many options nearby.
