Irresistibly green slopes touching the sky at a thousand meters. A lovely, little lake hidden within the rolling hills. This is Devikulam.

A dainty town sixteen kilometres southwest of Munnar. A perfect picture of fairy- tale enchantment . The old wiv's tale has is that once Sita Devi, the holy consort of Lord Rama, came down to frolic in the lake and the place came to be spoken about as 'Devikulam' (meaning the lake of the goddess), ever since.
