Muthappanpuzha

Muthappanpuzha is a highland locality in Thiruvambady Grama Panchayat in eastern Kozhikode district. Kerala's Local Self Government records identify Muthappanpuzha as a ward of the panchayat, while Kerala Tourism's route information places it close to Anakkampoyil. The settlement lies in the foothill environment leading toward Vellarimala, where rivers, wooded slopes and mountain scenery dominate the landscape.

Unlike a single ticketed attraction, Muthappanpuzha is best understood as a scenic rural destination and gateway area: visitors pass through for drives, river views and access toward trekking country in the Western Ghats. The surrounding terrain becomes especially lush during and after the monsoon, though heavy rain can also make streams, roads and trails hazardous. Government records place Thiruvambady village in Thamarassery Taluk, and the Muthappanpuzha postal area uses PIN 673603.

Travellers planning deeper hikes toward forest or mountain areas should check current permissions and local guidance rather than assuming unrestricted access.
