The sandalwood
factory of the Forest Department, the caves (muniyaras) with
murals and relics from the New Stone Age civilization and
the children's park spread across a hectare of land under
the canopy of a single Banyan tree are of great interest to
tourists. Thoovanam Waterfall and Rajiv Gandhi National Park
are also nearby.
Marayoor occupies a vast
area on the slopes of the Western Ghats in Idukki district
and is an important pre-historic site in Kerala. Apart from
the Dolmenoid cists (Dolmenoids were burial chambers made
of four stones placed on edges and covered by a fifth one
called the cap stone) in Muniyara, Marayoor is famous for
its natural sandalwood forests and pre-historic rock paintings.
