Kuttikkanam is a hill station in Idukki district, Kerala state, India.

It is 3,500 feet (1,100 m) above sea level and surrounded by lush green tea plantations.

Since at first there was no road but only a pathway, the British started the Aerial Ropeway Ltd, Travancore state's first public limited company.

During the British period and after, manpower was brought to Kuttikkanam from various parts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

The descendants of these migrant workers constitute the major part of the population of Kuttikkanam.
