Pantheerayiram Forest

Pantheerayiram Forest is a wooded highland area in the Kurumbalangode region of Nilambur taluk, Malappuram district, Kerala. The Malappuram District Administration lists Pantheerayiram among the district’s forest attractions and places it near Adyanpara Waterfalls. Kerala Revenue and health-department records identify Kurumbalangode as part of the Nilambur region and confirm PIN 679334; government material also refers to remote settlements within the broader Panthirayiram forest landscape.

The attraction is best understood as a natural forest environment rather than a landscaped park. Visitors interested in trekking, birdlife, vegetation and the quieter side of Nilambur’s hill country may find the region rewarding, but access can depend on local road, weather and forest conditions. Travellers should not enter restricted forest areas or attempt unfamiliar trails without appropriate local guidance or permission.

During heavy monsoon periods, slippery ground, streams and changing visibility can make forest travel difficult.
