Valathode Hill station.


Valathode is an enchanting hill station in North Kerala (India) near Kerala-Karnataka border. Standing as tall as about 3,000 feet above sea level, the summit is located about 60 kms from Kannur (Canannore) city and 15 kms from Iritty. North of Valathode is the Kudaku forest.

These huge mountains lay spread over land enriched with dense forest. One can go by bus up to Valathode and then 3 km trekking through the mountain till that hill station.
The peak offers a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains beneath it. There are many seasonal waterfalls. Valathode is an ideal spot for adventure tourism as well. There are not many such fascinating hill stations in the region.For more photos scroll down.
