This place is especially an excellent trekking spot for adventure seekers. The road from Rajamala to Marayoor is filled with lush green tea estates. On the Marayoor-Kerala-Indiaou drive by, there are occasional waterfalls.
This Place is also a historical site and houses the ‘muniyaras’ or the stone coffins with underground tunnels, which date back to the Neolithic period. These cave-like structures resting on vertical rocks are present everywhere - they are stone slabs resembling crudely-made boxes. There are paintings depicting the legendary wanderings of ‘Rama and Sita' and the 'Pandavas' inside the caves.
