Idamalayar may not be a flagship forest reserve in Kerala. But the teeming wild elephant population in the Idamalayar forests is, it is stated, the result of the State's committed conservation efforts. One can spot more elephants along the banks of the Idamalayar than at Thekkady.The 35-km Idamalayar catchment area is not a tourist destination and is therefore undisturbed. Wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers are allowed to cruise the waterbody after obtaining permission from the Forest Department. The giant teak at Kappayam is another attraction.
