Paithalmala Watch Tower - History details

Atop the Paithalmala ridge on the Kerala–Karnataka border, the old watch tower caps a grassy trek with sweeping views to Coorg and Kannur’s forests. The plateau blooms post‑monsoon; mist often cloaks the trail in winter. Popular with trekkers, it’s part of the region’s historic hill‑guard line overlooking Malabar’s inland routes.
