    Really amazing hilltop situated at wayanad district. Try to reach before sunrise. If you are lucky you will get the view. Which is equal to heaven. Trucking is available to reach the top of the hill. You can also stay the top by way of tend. Try to visit here.

    One of the best place in wayanad to see the sunrise view. If you’d like to see the sunrise, reach before 5 - 5:30am to the parking zone of kurumbalakotta. Because, from there have to be trek around 30mins - 1hour(based on your trekking skill) to the destination point.

    I had the pleasure of visiting Kurumbalakkotta Mala in Kerala, a hilltop that promises a sunrise above the clouds. The journey to this serene destination offers a choice between a calming trek and a convenient jeep ride. For Rs. 600, the jeep can transport up to 7 people up and down the hill. The main attraction is the sunrise, occurring between 6 am to 8 am, creating a breathtaking spectacle as the sun emerges amidst the clouds. Unfortunately, on the day of my visit, dense clouds delayed the sunrise until 8:30 am, which is unusual. Despite missing the sunrise, the natural beauty of the area with its lush forest was mesmerizing. The diverse flora and fauna added to the enchantment. In summary, Kurumbalakkotta Mala offers a unique blend of adventure and nature, with the chance to witness a sunrise above the clouds. Whether you choose to trek or take the jeep, the experience is calming and the surroundings are stunning, making it a memorable trip, even if the sunrise is a bit elusive.

    Great 360 degree view Sunrise view is better than sunset Short steep trek of 1 km, good and clear trail but little tiring as steep, no risk No ticket or permission required and there is a small shop near the starting point Might be some EDM audience there at evening if you know what i meanπŸ™‚πŸ˜…

    Very honest review:- For sunrise at kurumbalakotta hill top need to start at 4:30 if your are 15-20km away from hill top you will reach there by max 30-45 mins very small road but very neat.! Once you reached there parking charges for car is 40 and then the trek starts it takes approx 45 mins- 1 hour to reach hill top no lights available on the way total dark need to on mobile torch total mountain climbing if it rains then to much slippery can slip if new to trekking No Breaks At Trek Totally Steak Up Hill With Rocks Support I Strongly Recommend If you Have Good Stamina And can Climb the Hill Then only go If Not Please Dont Go i Dont Recommend Because I Fell Down Twice Iam A Healthy Person After Reaching Peak Small Shop Available Where You Can Have water bottle maggie bread Omlet Hill Top Scene Is Not That Much Recommended Because Lakkidi View Point Is Far Better Then This Trek And Getting Down Is More Difficulty Then Climbing Mountain.. Very Sleepy Way

    Nice spot for sunrise, but when I go there I can't see sunrise, you had to walk a long way for getting there but the experience was very nice

  • 4/5 AKSHAY KUMAR M A. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place. U will get an Excellent view from the top during sunrise. Early morning view of the place is mind-blowing.The path is good at the starting and you can take your vehicles to an extend and then the road gets tough and only experienced drivers will be able to make it (also normal vehicles can't be used). A jeep is available at the starting of the off-road and you can park your vehicles there.

    I had the incredible opportunity to visit Kurumbalakotta and witness a sunrise like no other. The trek in the early morning was well worth it. As the first rays of light broke through, the landscape transformed into a breathtaking vista. While I didn't get to see the mesmerizing cloud bed that some are fortunate to witness, the overall experience was still magical. The tranquility and beauty of Kurumbalakotta are truly worth exploring for any nature lover. Don't miss the chance to enjoy its captivating sunrise and stunning natural surroundings.

    "The Morning bliss can be blessed sometimes". It's a calm place for a splendid sunrise but it's crucial to be there at time and season. March to June is not so good as we know and October to January is best I think. Have to Trek only 1km or less to the top. Network is good up there, no problems. Snacks and drinkable's are available on top. Not best when too crowded because of spatial reasons.

    It's a beautiful hill. You don't need to trek much and can reach to two points : 1. there is a sunrise point which is very crowded and not so clean 2. There is a sunset point which is very calm and has amazing view with less crowd.

    Mesmerizing place it is. Small trek and good bike upto the parking place will reach you the perfect spot. Route is little hard to ride a bike. After parking spot it almost 1km of hike to reach the top. Start your journey before an hour of sunrise to see the amazing views. The place, views from top is so beautiful and loving. Highly recommending for Trek lovers.

    20-30 minutes trucking, nice view at the top. Good place for sunrise & sunset views. Visit during Rainy season is risky. Small paid parking facility, tea shop available. No entry ticket as of now.

  • 4/5 Technical B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience. I love the place. But if you take car to reach there, you want to walk so long and it was very long and high. But there is a jeep service around 600 rupees to go and comes charge. But if you take bike or scooty or any 4Γ—4 vehicle to go there, you can go there easily and there was a pay parking upside.

  • 5/5 Manvith S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best place to view sunrise around wayanad, its a bit difficult off-road if it rains but you can take your bike till top and then have to walk for 50mts, jeeps are also available at base, be at the peak by 5:50 - 6am as you can see sun rising from clouds which is a magnificent view. Sadly people have trashed this place, please keep the place clean if you plan to visit.

  • 5/5 Sudheer S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice place to enjoy the sun rise early in the morning. Above the clouds passing by our side gives the pleasure of hard trek. Need to be there by 6AM to see the sun rise.

    Kurumbalakotta is one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Wayanad. Kurumbalakotta a favorite destination for trekkers is the breathtaking 360-degree view of Wayanad. Trekkers can enjoy the snow-capped mountains and valleys surrounding the hill.

    The view is Amazing , But the place is heavily crowded , The ambience is lost due to heavy crowd! You can pitch a tent here . The view is great !!

  • 5/5 MUHAMMED J. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Place to Stay in Tent. If you are planning to visit; Reach there before Sun set and enjoy the evening, stay there wake up early morning and enjoy the Sun rise. If you are lucky; you can see the thick cloud which will is a different experience.

  • 4/5 Abha J. 1 year ago on Google
    It was really a nice experience for me .. You can have a full ride upto the top of kurumbalakotta or have a half a ride to the top and then hike .. The view is amazing ...

  • 5/5 Abhijith P. 1 year ago on Google
    A must visit place. Better to reach before 8am for the best views. You can get the cloud view till 10am. Bikes can go to the top, even though it is difficult. Cars cant go up. Road is terrible. Only jeeps can climb it.

  • 5/5 Jathin K. 1 year ago on Google
    Peaceful place, Loved it❀️ As many of us know Waynad is known for its trekking spots. This place is one of them. Half way there is a narrow yet steep road and other half is mud/slush route. It is a 1.7km trek from the parking spot. It is possible for a mid-adventure bike/ car with high ground clearance to reach the top but it is not so easy. The trek is a bit exhausting but fun at the same time. There is a small stall at the middle of the trek for water,food, etc. I would recommend to carry water with you. Once you reach the top, the view is just mesmerising and beautiful. A must visit place nearby Waynad. PLEASE DO NOT LITTER THE PLACE AND CARRY THE TRASH WITH YOU.

  • 5/5 Viswajith M A. 10 months ago on Google
    It is a very nice spot to watch sunrise and sunset, the experience was awesome. Someone who really loves trekking and such activities must visit this place. Need to walk approximately 1km to reach the peak, but the view was quite awesome.

  • 5/5 Vignesh P. 1 year ago on Google
    The place was very nice. Trekking difficulty is normal though. You need to arrive early morning @ 5.30 to see sunrise.. Parking charges will be there. However there is no entry free for trekking

  • 4/5 Vellikolusu 1 year ago on Google
    One of the beautiful place you can visit at any time and without and fee. Jeeps are available from the base to take you up for Rs. 500. Some seem to were walking up to the top. Tee and snacks were available at the spot.
