Kodikuthimala, also known as the Ooty of Malappuram,[1] is a hill station in Vettathur and Thazhekode villages, in Kerala, India. At a height of 540 metres (1,770 ft) above sea level, it is the highest peak in Amminikkadan hills.[2]
The British hoisted their flag on this hilltop during a survey, thus getting the name Kodikuthimala. Around 70 acres of land in this area is earmarked by the Tourism Department for various projects. Kodikuthimala, at an altitude of 1,713-ft above sea level, has a watch tower that is visited by tourists because of the vantage point it offers. It is located 9 km from Perintalmanna, 32 km from Malappuram, 66 km from Palakkad and 82 km from Calicut.[1]
