Chaliyar Mukk

Chaliyar Mukk is a scenic riverbank destination associated with the Chaliyar River near Nilambur in Malappuram district, Kerala. According to Malappuram District Administration, the attraction features a sandy bank reached after roughly a 2 km walk through a mahogany forest, and it lies about 7 km from Nilambur. Kerala Tourism’s Nilambur ecotourism material also includes Chaliyar Mukku among the area’s nature attractions.

The journey is part of the experience: the wooded approach opens onto a quieter river landscape away from the town centre. Visitors can enjoy photography, river views and the contrast between plantation forest and open sandbank. Conditions may change with river level and monsoon rainfall, and walking routes can become muddy or temporarily unsuitable.

Travellers should avoid entering unfamiliar or fast-moving sections of the Chaliyar and should follow any local or forest guidance governing access through plantation or protected areas.
