  • It is a beautiful place and this place have a great scope to become the international scenerio of religions. If developed properly the Sabrimala and the St.Thomas Church Nilakkal can become the attraction of lot of tourists. There needs to be a political will and citizens interest to bring this place on the world Atlas.
