Such little known place is Thondaman Kotta where a Zen like tranquility pervades. This spot is situated 150 km from Kochi.Misty Mountains that chill to the bone stand majestically amidst a lush carper of green that peeks out from the swirling mist
There is a legend behind the name Thondaman Kotta.A ruler from Tamil Nadu names Thondaman fled to this place to escape his enemies and built a fort of mud. He carried all his treasures with him and folklore is that he hid it inside a vault made in a rock on a mountain and sealed it with a big boulder which had a huge chain to pull it open, with one end immersed in a lake. The saying is that once you find the chain and pull it, the boulder would move to reveal the treasure filled vault.(copy&paste)
