Why this place stands out

Veeramala Hills at Cheruvathur is a Kasaragod viewpoint overlooking the Kariangode River, with scenic hill terrain and ruins traditionally identified as an 18th-century Dutch fort.

Veeramala Hills is a scenic hill destination at Cheruvathur in the southern part of Kasaragod district. Official tourism information highlights the panoramic view from the hill over the Kariangode River and its green surroundings. The summit area is also associated with the ruins of a fort described in district and Keralam Tourism material as an 18th-century Dutch fort, giving the destination an unusual combination of landscape and historic remains.

Veeramala is not a heavily developed hill station; its attraction lies in the elevated countryside, the river below and the sense of discovering a quieter local landmark. The hill can be combined with Cheruvathur, Padanna and nearby backwater destinations for a varied day in southern Kasaragod. Visitors should take normal precautions on exposed or uneven ground and be especially careful during the monsoon, when laterite surfaces and pathways can become slippery.
