Itinerary description

Paithalmala Trekking - Kannur - Kerala

View of the valley from the observatory tower is breathtaking and the observer's eyes can hover over more than half the area of Kannur district. Most of the visitors end their trek having time spent around the tower, but much of the excitement of the Paithalmala is located elsewhere. The best part of the trek is the walk from the observatory tower to the thick forest where trail from Kappimala ends. One can move on top of the hills enjoying the mesmerizing scenery of the Coorg forest on right and Paithal valley on the left. The grassland looks stunning here and arguably is the best scene of the trek. The best time to start the trek is early morning, after the breakfast from the valley and finishing by evening. Lunch, water and snacks need to be carried. You are not allowed to carry Plastic into the forest. (copied)
