Trekking
The Pythal Mala trail in Kannur is home to dense vegetation and interesting wildlife. The trek to the hilltop covers a distance of 6 km. The trekking activities are done June to October, however, the monsoon season also means thousands of leeches! Summer trekking can prove tiring due to the intense heat. The ideal time is post-monsoon, when the vegetation is lush. Trekkers can hire a local guide, beware of the occasional encounters with an elephant.
