One of the most beautiful temples in Kerala. The route to this place is extremely blessed with natural beauty. If you are lucky, you may spot some wild animals as well. However, it is not safe to ride through those roads late at night or during early morning. We saw an elephant so close to the road at around 9 pm NB: Please confirm that the temple is open due to covid related restrictions.

Beautiful place situated inside green lush forest, driving to the place itself is an excitement. temple is a historical place and lot of devotees from different places visit here. on the way to temple you can see lot of wild life. driving in the evening is not suggestible. truly a divine and spiritual place.

good temple. famous for doing last rites. belief is that papanasini river will was away our sins. the road to temple is through forests and there are chances of sighting monkeys, deers, elephants etc. renovation works are currently going on in the temple.

Adding this review because i had a foreigner ask me what is going on here. So to start with, this place is also known as the 'kaasi of the south' . Lord Vishnu s temple is currently under renovation. The temple is attached to a river ( papanashini) where the final rituals of passed away loved ones are done. These rituals can then be done on an annual basis. If u are new around here. You could still do these rituals for your demised loved ones ( they are basically prayers to ask God to help them rest in peace ). It doesn't cost much ( 70Rs) either .

Ancient Maha Vishnu temple. Plan the trip based on Temple opening. Temple will be open from early morning to 12.30PM in the morning session. Not sure about the evening. But I think open after 5PM. I am suggesting early travel since you hopefully see few wild animals including elephant 🐘, deer 🦌 , peacock 🦚, kattupothu etc. Beautiful view every where. Calm place to spent few hours. Parking is available near the Temple. But limited. You just need to walk few 100 meters to reach Temple.

Thirunelli Temple (also Tirunelli) is an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Maha Vishnu on the side of Brahmagiri hill in Kerala, India, near the border with Karnataka state.

So much years old temple.This temple is mentioned in Puranas & Vedic, so you can calculate the year of temple built. 20 years ago I visited the same temple after that I visited the temple today.The temple premises are in the same conditions as earlier. Renovation must needed temple. Great example of bad temple management. For temple renovation donation asking from devotees. What about hundi fund collected till date from the devotees, Government interested to take temple collection fund Not interested in Temple Renovation. If this temple was in Karna taka/TN the government themself may renovated it.

I went to Sree Thirunelli Mahavishnu Kshetram for the second time, now the temple is under renovation works. The temple looked really old and special before, with a strong spiritual vibe. It's next to the big Brahmagiri hills and you get to see a beautiful view. The temple is well known for the last rites and there's a river for that passing by. The way to the temple is amazing, especially in the early morning when you can see lots of animals. It's a great place for both spirituality and enjoying nature

One of the beautiful temple sacred and lots of mystery and divine. Main God Vishnu along with Brahma and Shiva resides inside temple. Situated at the foot of Brahmagiri Hills. Beautiful scenery and calm place. It is too far from kalpetta wayanad region, around 1.5 hr journey situated in deep forest routes. Route to this temple is magnificent beautiful forest roads and wild animals will be crossed on road at early morning. There is Papanasini stream Emanating from the heart of Brahmagiri forest flowing through roots, leaves and flowers of ancient trees and medicinal herbs, Papanasini is a holy mountain stream accessible around 1 km northwest of the temple premises. Pilgrims bathe here as they consider its waters to be sacred with powers to absolve one's sins. Further, the temple offers services to immerse cremation ashes in the sacred mountain stream to be thus carried to Kaveri River and from there to the ocean. This is a part of the last rites.

Nestled amidst forests and hills in the lap of nature and the Western Ghats, the temple boasts a fantastic atmosphere. While the surroundings are breathtaking, there's room for improvement in parking and other facilities.
