Nestled at the base of the Western Ghats, Kothamangalam serves as a convenient stopover for travelers journeying between Cochin and Madurai.

Renowned as a hub for spice and forest product trade, this charming town is also noted for its historic Christian churches. Just 13 kilometers away lies the Thattekad Bird Sanctuary, making Kothamangalam a natural gateway to one of Kerala’s richest bird habitats.
