Kuttikkanam is a calm and quiet village, located in Idukki district. The weather is relatively cold compared to central Kerala. You will get a feel of being in a hill station. This is a very beautiful hilly village with a lot of hills, valleys and mountains. Some popular destinations like Panchalimedu, Parunthumpara, Sahyadri museum etc are located in and around Kuttikkanam.
If you are the way to Thekkady or return from Thekkady towards Alappuzha, then Kuttikkanam is an ideal place to stay at a low budget at the same time enjoy staying in a hill station. Homestays and resorts are relatively cheap here, compared to Thekkady.
Kuttikkanam is a nice place to spend a vacation. I have stayed there once with a group of friends and we all really enjoyed. It is one of the best places to stay overnight on the way to Thekkady.
Last year, we were looking for some good homestays in Kuttikkanam but didn't find the Thushaaram at that time. Is it a new homestay? Do they allow bachelors/big groups?
