Away from the hustle-bustle of the city, in a tiny sleepy hamlet, experience Thiruvananthapuram’s ancient natural attraction, Madavoorpara, in an all-new way!
A lesser-known pristine destination situated 300 feet above sea level, Madavoorpara is a favourite with pilgrims and tourists. The place is noted for its cave temple and Bamboo Bridge.
History sleeps in the rock-cut Shiva Temple here that dates back to the 9th Century CE. The rock shrine currently under the protection of the Department of Archaeology has a pillar with inscriptions in Vattezhuthu, the ancient Malayalam script. The temple has attracted the attention of researchers and culture enthusiasts with its archaeological and historical significance.
Walk up to the hill through the Bamboo Bridge to spend some time in a serene and secluded space. The 100 m long Bamboo Bridge is a sight in itself. Besides the bridge, the bamboo huts atop the rock that bestows you with a panoramic view of the lush green surroundings stand apart as the main attraction of the place.

A trekker magnet, Cheengeri Mala or Cheengeri Hills is located on the way to Kaduvakuzhi from Sultan Bathery. It is well known for its ease of climbing, as this one isn’t forest-clad, unlike most other hills of Wayanad, and has a gentle slope. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this hill is the view it offers early in the mornings. Don't miss this place next time when you are in Wayanad district.
