    Palakkad lies near a wide low gap or pass in the [wiki=7c16db2261d467ba6fad8c3aa18cbcf5]Western Ghats[/wiki] mountain ranges that separates [wiki=e369d9fd2ab54455129816db19e37fd4]Kerala[/wiki] from [wiki=3a2d6295a828fc1ec5084af382b61e35]Tamil Nadu[/wiki]. Consequently the city is a major conduit for travel between the two states. Palakkad is 4,480 square kilometres and the population is 2,617,072.

    Palakkad is the land of Palmyras and Paddy fields. It is the chief granary of Kerala, often called the Gateway of Kerala. Palakkad lies at the foot of the gigantic Western ghats on the border of Kerala. This city surrounded by mountains, forests and fertile valleys, rivers and mountains streams are rich in flora and fauna.

    Palakkad is known for its historical background and the remnants of Tippu Sulthan's Fort are still maintained.

    Malayalam is widely spoken language as the rest of Kerala. However Palakkad is close to the Tamil Nadu border and people understand and speak Tamil well. You won't be very far from a person who speaks perfect English or Hindi just in case you need one.
