What travellers say about Kolukku Malai Top
Reached early morning to witness the incredible sunrise. It was drizzling so the great view with the clouds was missing. Still a great visit, worth the long ride from Cochin.
Second time at Kolukku Malai and the view is still breathtaking.
This time there were not much clouds trapped in the valleys below so anyone who plans to go there, I will strongly suggest to visit in Jan to March (previously I visited in those months), the sunrise is one of the best in the world during that time.
The roads to here are pretty much messed up. Full of boulders, and reachable only by jeeps from Suryanelli town. It takes more than an hour to reach the top, so if you want to see the sunrise, please be at Suryanelli by around 4.30 AM. Even though you can go to the top at anytime, the view might not be as nice as it is during sunrise.
And if you are coming with elderly or kids or have any backaches, I will not recommend to visit the place. The roads are that terrible.
This was the very first visit to Kolukku Malai and it was incredible.
After the hour long totally bad road from Suryanelli town, reched the top and witnessed the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen. Both sides of the top are extremely sloppy and in one side of it is a large valley that locks clouds in it. The sun rises up slowly behind the cloud turning the sky orange, red and slowly to blue of the skies.
It was very windy and cold, and the jeep ride from bottom of the peak is terrible but the view from top is so mesmarising. Although I returned again in October, the view was not so nice then. May be February is the best time to visit?
