Last kerala forest check post on the route to Valparai from Vazhachal. If begin the journey from Vazhichal, you will get a slip containing time to reach here in the Malakapara check post,also vice versa. Only 2 hours is the permitted time to reach here through the forest. And it is strictly prohibited the entry to the jungle. Now a days bikes are not allowed to enter the forest. Plastics and alcohol are also prohibited. Driving through the dense forest is extremely wonderful with a wonderful breeze air, you can enjoy the woods. Make sure that you have an enough supply of water. Some times we can't see a single person on the route. But be careful on the curves, Elephants crossing is a normal thing in this route, and the road is too short in width. This route is through the Parambikulam tiger reserves. Ksrtc and a private bus is available on this route. Sholayar dam is near to this check post. On the route there is a Tamil Nadu forest check post. But the forest ends here. Nearest town is Valparai.

Great experience when travelling in the root with motorcycle it gives plenty of views including wild animals . Have to be more careful while riding motorcycles because of narrow road . Be careful silencer changed motorcycles will not be permitted to enter in to the forest

Malakkapara is a small town located in the Thrissur district of the Indian state of Kerala. It is situated in the Western Ghats, making it a picturesque and lush green area. Malakkapara is known for its natural beauty and is surrounded by forests and plantations. One of the notable attractions in Malakkapara is the Malakkapara Waterfalls, which is a scenic spot where visitors can enjoy the cascading water and the serene atmosphere. The town is also a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and trekkers due to its proximity to the Western Ghats.

My best ever forest trip experience in this Chalakudy to Malakkapara Road. Absolute thrilling adventurous ride through dense forest without any signal range except BSNL network. You can see wild animals as usual in the road. The Kerala forest department is strict on permitting the vehicles between the timing 6am to 4pm for two whellers and 6am to 6pm for four whellers. The roads are not good. It take 4 to 5 hours to reach Malakkapara from Athirapally falls. bus service also available both KSRTC, TNSTC and Private bus only limited services during only day time. Luckily we have seen Early man without wearing any dress and roaming on the road side. If you go by four wheelers pl be ready with your back up things like spare wheel as there is no signal range between Puliyarapara and Malakapara for 40kms.

It's OK drive as perme and you will hardly get to see any animals other than buffalo, monkey but I didn't see any elephant fir which i had specially planned this trip 😔
