ABOUT

Ranipuram hills is located 750m above sea level on the Western Ghats in Kasaragod district. Covered with evergreen shola woods, monsoon forests and grasslands. This beautiful land is known for its trekking trails. Ranipuram was earlier known as Madathumala and its extensive forests merge into those of Karnataka. Wild elephants can be seen wandering on the mountain tops here. Tourist cottages provide comfortable stay on the hills. Jeep and bus services are available from Panathady and Kanhangad in kasaragod town. Ranipuram in its natural beauty is comparable to Ooty - a popular hill station in South India. The entire trek route of Ranipuram is very scenic and a delight for nature photographers. Exploring the land on foot while being surrounded by flora is surely a serene experience. You will encounter a small stream en route, which seems like it has been pulled out straight from a painting.
