Idukki is a district for the state of Kerala, India.  The district headquarters is situated at Kuyilimala in Painavu and this area is the second least populated district in Kerala next only to Wayanad.

Idukki History

Idukki high range fascinated Scottish planters in the early 19th century and they left back some bungalows surrounding Munnar, which are famous for their architectural splendor and the most noticeable is the Ladbroke House, which is named after the Ladbroke Square in London.  The trout, coniferous trees and dark green planter's cap are some of the contributions of those planters.

Munnar has railway lines since the early part of 19th century.  This starts from the KDHP office at Munnar and extending all the up to top station near the Tamilnadu border.  The torrential rain and storm of 1924 ruined a major portion of the rail system, and the Mattupetty dam still has the remains of the rail lines. Many rails are used as electric posts in Munnar.  KDHP's tea factory has one of the wheels of the locomotives being kept there. Idukki has the major arch dam in India, and most notable being the Idukki Dam, built for the Idukki Hydro Electric Power Project in the year of 1969 with the assistance of Canadian Government.  This single project powers almost half of the entire state and some parts of surrounding states.  Mattupetty Dam is also here.
