Kariyathumpara

Kariyathumpara is situated in Koorachund panchayat 45km from Calicut town; Karyathanpara nestles next to the Western Ghats and Wayanad and enjoys the soothing weather most of the year. 

                                   It is a relaxing tourist destination with many natural water springs and naturally formed water pools. Kariyathumpara is at its scenic best, after the rains and resembles a painting. 

                                       Miles of grass rolling over mounds and dips is fenced by the mild river. Scores of fallen trees, their dry branches emoting different stages of helplessness and swayed by the moods of the river, gives Kariyathumpara its unique architectural beauty.

                                              The paddy fields along the river disappeared when the Kakkayam dam came and Kariyathumpara became a catchment area. Thus Kuttiadi river gained might and the landscape has changed. The Kuttiadi River is rocky at the mouth, with a dozen little wells on its rocky belly.
