Paithalmala Trek & Cherupuzha Rafting
Paithalmala is one of North Kerala's most scenic hill treks, with rolling grasslands, misty ridges and big views across Kannur's hills. Our weekend trip pairs it with a completely different adventure: rafting on the Cherupuzha river.
Highlights
- Trek to Paithalmala Peak through open grasslands
- Kappimala and Meenthully waterfalls
- White-water rafting on the Cherupuzha river, with optional river rappelling
- Overnight stay near Cherupuzha, all meals, and pickup and drop from Kannur Railway Station
Who it suits
First-time adventurers and experienced trekkers alike. It is a great choice for groups of friends who want more than one activity in a weekend.
Best time to go
Paithalmala is best when the grasslands are green, in the monsoon and post-monsoon. Rafting depends on river levels, so dates are set accordingly.
