Captured under an open sky streaked with drifting clouds, this image of Anjumalappara presents a striking view of the rocky outcrop and the vast green landscape below.
Located in the quiet village of Enadimangalam in Kerala’s Pathanamthitta district, Anjumalappara stands as one of the highest elevations in the area. Surrounded by dense greenery and gently sloping hills, the site is ideal for visitors looking to soak in panoramic vistas of nature.
Often referred to as Ayiramthooni Mala, the hill is associated with local legends and folk narratives, lending a mystical aura to the site. The name itself reflects its mythical past, and the para (rock) is considered sacred by many people. The hilltop offers a wide-angle view that stretches across both Pathanamthitta and Kollam districts, making it a popular stop for those seeking peace, natural beauty and a connection to local lore.
From the top, the view is stunning-sprawling meadows, scattered houses and rolling clouds painted across a vast blue sky. It is a favourite spot for witnessing Kerala’s vibrant sunrises and sunsets. Easily accessible by local buses, auto-rickshaws and taxis, Anjumalappara continues to attract both casual visitors and those in search of spiritual solace.
With its blend of history, mythology and unspoiled landscapes, Anjumalappara offers a serene retreat for travellers seeking to explore the lesser-known natural gems of Kerala.
