A perfect offbeat destination nestled in the Western Ghats for nature lovers.
This beautiful hilly hamlet in Idukki has a nice, pleasant climate and sprawling fields of vegetables and fruits. Kanthalloor is 50 km from Munnar.
With its green patches of land and hills, valleys, orchards and farms, Kanthalloor is the delight of nature lovers and tourists. The ideal location of this village makes it perfect for the cultivation of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.
This is one place in Kerala where you get to see apples growing in profusion. Kanthalloor is also known for orange, strawberry, blackberry, plums, gooseberry, egg fruit, peach, sugarcane and passion fruit.
Cauliflower, cabbage, carrot, beans, potato, and garlic are also grown here. Kanthalloor farmers specialise in terrace farming, carving steps out of hills to grow crops-an incredible sight in itself.
