Paithalmala
Hill Station
Paithalmala
Paithalmala is a scenic hill station located in the Kannur district of Kerala, near the Kerala-Karnataka border and nestled in the Western Ghats at an altitude of about 1,372 meters. It is the highest geographic peak in Kannur and is surrounded by dense forests, including parts of the Kodagu forest region, making it a favorite spot for nature enthusiasts, trekkers, and photographers.
The area offers two main trekking seasons; monsoon and summer with the monsoon trek featuring lush greenery and mist-covered hills, although trekking can be challenging due to rain, leeches, and occasional elephant visits.
The hilltop features an observatory tower and provides breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and forests. Trekking routes offer a mix of thick forests and grasslands, and after the monsoon season, forest caretakers burn the grass to ease trekking. The best time to visit is from January to March when the weather is cooler and more suitable for trekking. Paithalmala remains relatively unspoiled by human activity, though increasing visitor numbers pose environmental challenges.
