Cheruppadi
Mala
and
Mini
Ooty
viewpoints
are
two
closely
located
picturesque
sites
of
the
Arimbra
Hills,
separated
only
by
about
8
Km.
Cheruppadi
Mala
view
point
is
located
on
the
north
west
whereas
the
Mini
Ooty
view
point
is
along
the
south
east.
After
about
half
an
hour
of
travel
from
Karipur
(Kozhikode
Airport),
via
Puliyamparamba
(around
11
Km
in
the
South
and
South
east
direction),
we
reached
this
picturesque
hairpin
bend
of
Cheruppadi
Mala.
The
small
hill
is
popular
for
the
striking
beauty
of
foggy
hills
and
the
splendid
views
of
the
fresh
water
ponds,
thus
making
this
tourist
attraction
an
eco-holiday
destination
of
the
District.
The
rare
sight
of
the
deep
water-logged
rocky
ponds
of
varying
sizes
on
either
sides
of
the
road
is
not
a
common
one.
Though
we
could
now
see
only
a
twin
pond
at
the
lower
elevation
and
a
single
larger
one
after
the
hairpin
bend
at
the
peak,
there
have
been
a
few
others,
lost
today
due
to
the
massive
granite
quarrying
undertaken
there.
Lots
of
lorry
traffic
of
the
quarry
and
other
constructions
have
totally
destroyed
this
beautiful
and
rare
tourist
picnic
destination.
We
can
also
get
glimpses
of
the
Kozhikode
Airport
and
even
watch
the
taking
offs
and
landings
and
taxiing
of
various
aircrafts.
On
the
other
side,
one
can
find
endless
lofty
mountains
and
deep
valleys
covered
by
thick
blanket
of
greenery.
This
place
is
accessible
easily
from
different
parts
of
the
district,
as
many
roads
connect
Cheruppadi
Mala
to
different
places.
Mini
Ooty
is
yet
another
tourist
spot
of
the
Arimbra
Hills
in
Malappuram,
located
at
a
height
of
1050
ft
above
sea
level
and
attracts
large
number
of
visitors
for
its
rolling
hills
and
scenic
views.
