A hidden paradise called Sathram (4K) | Drone shots | Kerala Tourism

Situated at a distance of 14 KM from Idukki, Sathram is a beautiful place that is mostly covered with fog and a series of mountain ranges. The route to Mount Sathram is very picturesque. There are numerous mounds that gives a breath taking view of the entire valley that runs through the area. It truly is a magical experience to be in these hills with the wind blowing. Only two wheelers and 4*4 vehicles can reach the top or you can hire a jeep from Thekkady. The word Sathram means ‘a resting place’ in Malayalam. Sathram was traditionally used by pilgrims and devotees of Lord Ayappan on their way to the Sabarimala Temple. It was a resting point for these pilgrims before they began their 10 km long arduous trek through the dense forests all the way up to the famous temple to pay their homage to Lord Ayyappa.
