The variety of rocks from “Aniyanparathattu” to “Hanumanpara” in Mukkuzhi part of Kerala forest in Kanjirakolly provides to a tourist the real thrill that can be given only by gods’own highland, Kanjirakolly. The one day trip can be begun from Aniyanparathattu. From Aniyanpara thattu to Kaimuttippara- then take the circular jungle path starting from the right side of kamuttippara which will take you to maaridappara, naagafanappara, kandaamrugappara, sugreevanpara, maalikappara, amruthappara and finally once again to kaimuttippara. From there the uphill trip- Oonjaalpara, Gopurappara, Nettanpara, Udumpanpara, Maramthaangippara, visranthi plain, velippara and finally Hanumanpara- the topmost peak on that part of the hill.
The “terrifying” beauty revealed by the steep sides of Hanumanpara(the rock of the god ‘Sri Hanuman) will never say goodbye to a tourist’s mind.
