How To Reach Arimbra Hills

Malappuram, Kerala, India
Arimbra Hills, popularly known as Mini Ooty among the locals, serves as a picturesque, easily accessible hill station located in the Kondotty region of Malappuram district. This moniker (Mini Ooty) is earned due to its pleasant, slightly cooler climate compared to the humid coastal plains, its gentl y rolling terrain, and the mesmerizing panoramic views it offers of the surrounding landscape. Perched at a modest altitude, the hills provide a stunning, unobstructed vista that includes the distant Western Ghats, the green patchwork of agricultural fields in the valleys below, and on clear days, even a glimpse of the coastal areas. The primary appeal of Arimbra lies in its accessibility and the dramatic contrast it offers: rising quickly from the plains to provide a genuine hill-station experience without requiring a long, arduous journey. The hills are carpeted with rich, deep green grass, interspersed with patches of rubber, tea, and local spice plantations on the lower slopes. The main viewpoint, often referred to as the Kakkad viewpoint, is a bustling spot during the late afternoon, drawing crowds for the spectacular sunset. The local government has invested in developing the spot into a sustainable ecotourism hub, adding viewing platforms and safety railings to ensure a comfortable visit. However, the true beauty of Arimbra Hills is best appreciated through a light, early-morning hike up the grassy slopes. The atmosphere during the pre-dawn hours is particularly magical, often shrouded in a light mist or fog that slowly burns away as the sun rises, revealing the landscape beneath. Its proximity to the Calicut International Airport (CCJ) also makes it a popular, quiet retreat for travelers before or after flights. The area is a perfect example of Malappuram's diverse landscape, transitioning swiftly from coastal plain to midland hill.

How to Reach

By Air (Nearest Airport: Calicut International Airport - CCJ) CCJ Airport is just 10 KMs away. A taxi from the airport will reach the base of Arimbra Hills in about 20 minutes.

By Train (Nearest Station: Feroke Railway Station - FK) While Tirur (TIR) is closer to Malappuram center, Feroke (FK) is sometimes a more convenient access point from the south, about 35 KMs away. From Feroke, hire a taxi to Kondotty/Arimbra. By Road (Bus Connectivity) Take a bus to Kondotty or Manjeri. From there, local services or hired auto-rickshaws can take you up the steep, winding roads to the main viewpoints. Private vehicles are the most convenient mode of transport here.
