Chaliyar Resort – Camp @ Chaliyar Hills
Chaliyar Resort, operating as Camp @ Chaliyar Hills, is a unique retreat located off Kozhippara Road in Kakkadampoyil, achieving a 3.7 rating from 167 guests. The resort actively promotes farm tourism, with its various facilities intentionally provided within the sprawling green farm environment. Visitors are encouraged to engage in and enjoy various farming activities alongside the friendly staff, providing a hands-on, educational, and relaxing experience. Leisure activities include the delightful experience of feeding sheep in the pastures. This area, known as Vallamthode Valley in the Chaliyar panchayat, Malappuram district, lies at a substantial elevation of 2900 feet from sea level, situated gracefully in the lap of the Western Ghats and bordering the Nilgiris Biosphere.
Immersive Natural Environment and Wildlife
The surrounding location is renowned for being full of fresh air and water, placing guests directly facing the deep rainy tropical forest of Nilambur. The resort is located at the interjunction of three districts: Malappuram, Wayanad, and Calicut. This high-altitude region, with an average height of 2900 feet from mean sea level, is a paradise for nature lovers. Sights of Tuskers (elephants) and their roaring are familiar occurrences here, as Bison and Elephants are common in the adjacent Pantheerayiram (12,000) forest of Nilambur, and can sometimes be watched directly from the property with a bit of luck. The Kuravan Puzha, a tributary of the Chaliyar River, originates from Vellarimala and is the life fluid of this location, featuring numerous cascades that form natural, accident-free ponds ideal for bathing.
Activities, Waterfalls, and Adventure Sports
Beyond farming, the resort provides several facilities for recreation, including outdoor games like Shuttle badminton and Volley ball. For those seeking a bit of adventure, the resort offers trekking through its own bumps, streams, and elevations. After a day of activity, guests can enjoy a lavish bath in the resort’s pool, which is maintained to be very much natural. The beautiful and serene nature of the landscapes, combined with the picturesque sceneries and ever-changing weather, makes the area ideal for Monsoon picnics, trucking, and enjoying bathing in the cascades, and is also cute for cinematography. The Valamthode waterfall is located in the vicinity of the site, adding another layer of natural appeal.
Accommodation and Unique Flavors
The farm house and cottages where guests stay are charmingly surrounded by various crops, including oil palms, coconuts, pepper, nut Meg, clove, and vanilla, which collectively add distinct flavors and aromas to the chilling air. This dense, bio-diverse environment enhances the resort experience, making it unique among hill station destinations. The entire Kakkadampoyil area, including hamlets like Valamthode and Nayadumpoyil, has only recently captured the attention of nature lovers, ensuring a relatively unspoiled experience.
