Kurishupara

Kurishu Paara is a mountain located in Edivanna village around 15 km from Nilambur in Malappuram district of Kerala. There is a chain above the rocks to help the accent. A Cross and an Ohm symbol have been placed at the top of the hill. The place offers an ethereal atmosphere that refreshes the body and mind. You have to climb around 500 meters to reach the top. The path might be fully covered with fog and the view from the top is amazing which makes you forget about the distance you traveled. You will find this place on the way to Kakkadampoyil from Nilambur. Kakkadampoyil is just 8 km away from this place

Kakkadampoyil

Kakkadampoyil is situated in koodaranhi Panchayat in kozhikode District near Nilambur. This hilltop village is one of the coolest tourist destinations in Malabar region. It is about 15 km from Koodaranhi, 19 km from Thiruvambady and 24 km from Nilambur. Calicut city is about 50 km from here. There are many indigenous tribal groups in this area. It is set high on the Western Ghats, with altitudes ranging from 700 ft to 2100 ft. Kozhippara waterfalls are situated nearby here. KSRTC Buses are running services from Calicut and have few buses from Thiruvambady and Nilambur towns. There is also a continuous Jeep service from Koodaranhi town to Kakkadampoyil.

Tourism

A large number of tourists come to Kakkadampoyil to enjoy the cool climate and to stay away from the bustle of the city.

On the mountain ranges of the Western Ghats bordering Kerala. Kakkadampoyil village, an unexplored hill station 48 km away from Calicut &NILAMBURCity. Surrounded by forests, misty hill ranges, deserted roads, untouched waterfalls (Kozhippara waterfalls), make the village worth a visit. Facilities for tourists are available.

Agriculture is the mainstay of the economy. Arecanut, coffee, Cocoa, Black pepper, Plantain, Vanilla and Coconut are the main crops. Poultry and Pig farms are the new trend.

In 2017 December, the Pinarayi Vijayan government decided to accord clearance to an 11 MW hydroelectric project in Kakkadampoyil. It will be the largest among the 20 small hydroelectric projects given clearance as part of the government's move to shift focus to micro level projects in the face of public resistance against large projects. One of  my favorite kakkadampoyil resort called sattva Their have meditation facility and very peaceful one for who looking for a meditation resort.
