About Kudukkathu Para

Kudukkathu Para is a highland nature attraction at Anakkulam in Channapetta Village, within the Punalur taluk area of Kollam district. Keralam government local records describe it as a complex of three prominent rocks and an eco-tourism project associated with the Forest Department. The route involves an uphill approach and climbing through a forested environment, so the experience is very different from the district’s coastal attractions.

From accessible viewpoints, visitors can enjoy sweeping vistas over hills, forest and distant countryside. The site is best suited to people comfortable with walking and climbing, and conditions may become slippery or difficult during heavy rain. Travellers should carry water, avoid plastic waste, follow forest or local eco-tourism instructions and avoid attempting restricted rock sections.

Kudukkathu Para can be combined with other eastern Kollam attractions around Anchal, Kulathupuzha and Thenmala.
