Angamoozhy

Angamoozhy, whose name unites the Malayalam words aana (elephant) and moozhy (town), still echoes with tales of the pachyderms that once traversed its dense forests. Nineteenth‑century references cement its historical stature, highlighting a settlement long woven into Pathanamthitta’s cultural tapestry well before today’s bustling pilgrim routes emerged.
As the eastern gateway to the sacred Sabarimala Dharma Sastha Temple, Angamoozhy channels thousands of devotees each season. Pilgrims climb through this green corridor, return via the Angamoozhy–Plappally stretch, and merge onto the one‑way pilgrim road at Vadasserikara. Their journey, shaded by teak and bamboo, unites devotion with the thrill of moving through one of Kerala’s remaining wilderness spans.

Set against the emerald foothills of the Western Ghats, the village is also a portal to nature’s engineering and agricultural bounty. Dams like Kakkad and Moozhiyar tame swift rivers, generating power and vistas for trekkers. On the high ranges, orderly rows of tea, coffee, and rubber mingle with plots of pineapple, tapioca, ginger, and pepper, painting Angamoozhy in shades of green industry and spice.
