Tourist Places/Attractions in Thrissur District
 
Peruvanmala, Thrissur
 
A natural hillock with undulating terrain blanketed with grass meadows and mosaic of trees. It is a low-altitude grassland of about 100 m above the sea level, situated in Thalakkottukara village. A beautiful place to relax, away from the hectic city life. Being an isolated hillock we can experience the nature’s beauty without any distraction. The place is 17 km away from Thrissur town en route Kozhikode, and two km away from the nearest town Kechery on the road to Wadakkanchery.
The meadow spreads to an area of about 50 acres and attracts all nature-lovers with its bounty. The visiting season starts by June. One or two weeks after summer-rain, the grass starts sprouting and the hillock grows beautiful. We can approach the hill up to half a km by vehicle. Trekking from the foot of the hill, we can conquer the peak in half an hour. From the peak, we get a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding landscape. The most beautiful point to relax on Peruvnmala is under Almavu – a grouping of ficus and mango tree. One can spent hours under the tree watching the panoramic distant views.
Another attraction of Peruvanmala is the presence of a beautiful flowering herb “Kannamthali” (Exacum bicolor). It is an endangered species belonging to the family Gentianaceae. The plant sprouts along with grass and starts blooming in August. The flower has four petals with a cream-coloured tip. It is in full bloom during the Onam season (August-September) and extends to January. The plants in full bloom amidst the grass are an amazing sight.
