VELLARIMALA WATERFALLS
AT
KOZHIKODE
Vellari Mala is situated
near Thusharagiri is in Kozhikode district.Vellarimala is a mountain range in
Thiruvambady town of the Kozhikode district, Kerala state, India. These
mountains are a part of the Western Ghats and lie on the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border.
They extend to the Nilgiri
Hills in Tamil Nadu and are separated by the Chaliyar valley. The Wayanad
plateau lies east of the hills and merges into the Mysore plateau. Vellarimala
hill is accessible from the last village in the region i.e. Muthappanpuzha, near
Anakkampoyil town, about 50 kilometers from Kozhikode. The bio-diversity of the
mountains is similar to that of the Nilgiri Hills.
The River Kanjirapuzha
creates several waterfalls and streams in the region, complementing the green
landscape. Dense vegetation covers the area, lending a green color to the
environment. One will be surprised not to find the Shola grasslands on the
Vellarimala top but there is a lot of foliage and the breeze is almost absent!
A slow drizzle always
graces this mountain range and rain can be encountered at any time in this
region. Rain polished leaves gives the atmosphere, life and freshness. The post
monsoon season is ideal for a trek to the Vellarimala peak. Enjoy Pazha Pori
(Banana Fry) and tea, the local delicacy of the region while trekking along.
Verdant, rolling
landscape, with numerous brooks, cascades and breathtaking waterfalls, Vellari
Mala offers is a true abode for you to unwind and to immerse in the whiff of
its limitless fresh air. River Kanjirapuzha, a tributary of the River Chaliyar,
meanders through the rocky terrain, creating cascades and breathtaking
waterfalls at many points.
The land's beauty and
topography is truly a trekker's paradise and is also an ideal picnic spot for
people of all age group to have a good time.
Scintillating waterfalls and velvet green landscapes make this an ideal
spot for trekking.
