Why this place stands out
A roughly 24-acre rocky hill at Muttara in Veliyam, Kollam, associated with Hanuman traditions and known for panoramic countryside views, a small pond and shrine.
Muttara Maruthimala Hills is a prominent rocky landscape at Muttara in Veliyam Grama Panchayat, Kollam district, Keralam. DTPC Kollam describes Maruthimala as a roughly 24-acre hilly rock formation associated with the legend of Hanuman, or Maruthi. The climb across exposed rock opens broad views of the surrounding green countryside and gives the site much of its appeal for walkers, photographers and visitors looking for an uncomplicated hill experience.
A small pond and shrine on the hill add a spiritual and local-cultural dimension to the landscape. The area has also been identified for eco-tourism development, reflecting its potential as an outdoor attraction close to Kottarakkara. Visitors should expect natural terrain rather than a fully urbanised viewpoint; sturdy footwear, water and caution on exposed or wet rock are sensible.
Early morning or later afternoon generally provides a more comfortable setting for appreciating the open views.
