High ranges and wooded valleys are girded by three main rivers - Periyar,
Thalayar and Thodupuzhayar - and their tributaries.
The river Pamba also has its origin here. As a tourist destination, Idukki
offers diverse attractions like wildlife sanctuaries, hill stations, spice
plantation tours, mountain treks, elephant rides etc.
Idukki has a large population of tribals, the main tribes being Muthuvan,
Malayarayan, Mannan, Paliyan, Urali, Ulladan, Malavedan and Malampandaram.
