context_page_description: Adimaly is a town in the Idukki district of Kerala, India. National Highway 185 is a highway in India running from Adimali to Kumily through Kattappana and ends in Adoor in Kerala.
  Adimaly is located on the National Highway 49, now NH 85, known as Kochi-Dhanushkodi National Highway connecting Kochi and Madurai, India. From Adimaly, it is only 27 kilometers to Munnar, which is a famous hill station. The waterfalls Cheeyappara, Adimaly waterfalls and Valara are located nearby. Pepper cultivation is the main agricultural activity of this place. The Ponmudi Dam was constructed in 1963 across the Panniar river, nearly 15 km southeast of Adimali, on the way to Rajakkad. Adimali is known for its proximity to munnar and natural environment. Adimaly has almost all the basic facilities like roads, educational institutions and hospitals.
  The former name of the Adimaly area was Mannamkandam, as the name indicates the Mannan tribe once populated the area. Other tribal groups collectively called the Muthuvan were also living in Adimali. Before 1980, the main crops under cultivation were rice as well as pepper and cardamom.
