PULLIKANAM - 11 km. Taking its name from the Pullimans (spotted deer) whose sanctuary it was, Pullikanam was transformed into a tea estate as early as 1860. The original Duncan Estate changed hands to Kerala planter stalwarts like KC Mammen Mappila of Malayala Manorama company. Presently it is owned by the Cochin Malabar Tea Company. DC School of Management and Technology (DCSMAT) nearby is one of Kerala’s greenest management campusus.
