Pythal Mala- The Uunexplored Trekking/Camping Spot in Kannur -Kerala , The Gods Own Country


Pythal Mala requires trekkers to undertake a arduous 6 kms trek to reach the zenith of the hill. The peak which is situated 4500 feet above the sea level, could give one the view which will remain in memory for a lifetime. The spectacular flora and fauna enroute through which the traveller will have to wade to reach the zenith will make the trek adventurous to the core.

The place located in Kannur district, can be visited during the cool months of January to April. One will also get a feel of the moist mountain wind before the onset of the monsoons in June.

Abundant in flora and fauna, this place is now being developed as a hill resort. One has to trek 6 kms to reach the top of the hills. There is a proposal to set up a zoo at the top of the hill.

The enchanting hill station offers a challenging trek to those inclined to stretch their legs. Trekkers are rewarded by a profusion of exotic flora and fauna and an exhilirating view from the top.


The 300 acre wide sprawling area is a safe home to numerous birds, hundreds of butterflies, rare plants and trees. Even during this sweltering summer at Paithal Mala one can relish a real cool climate. En route to the top of the hill one can see the remains of the run down palace of the tribal king called Vaithalkon.
