Upper Kuttanad is a part of India's Kuttanad region. It consists of parts of Kottayam, Pathanamthitta, and Alapuzha districts.
Kuttanad is broadly divided into Lower Kuttanad (Taluks of Ambalapuzha, Kuttanad in Alappuzha district), Upper Kuttanad (some parts of Kuttanad, and Karthikapally Taluks in Alappuzha district, western parts of Tiruvalla taluk in Pathanamthitta district), and North Kuttanad (Taluks of Vaikom, and western parts of Changanacherry and Kottayam taluks in Kottayam district.)
Some villages in Upper Kuttanad are Edathua, Thalavady, Muttar, Veeyapuram, Peringara, Chathenkeri, Nedumbram, Niranam, Kadapra, Parumala, Mannar, etc.
There is a demand for an Upper Kuttanad taluk (administrative subdivision) with Edathua as headquarters.
Famous quotes containing the word upper:
“The stately Homes of England,
How beautiful they stand,
To prove the upper classes
Have still the upper hand.”
