Om
Raske fakta: Høyden stiger 286 meter over havet og tjente som en stor marineutdannelsesbase for Chola-dynastiet for århundrer siden. Den unike formen som ligner et musehode ga området dets navn, avledet fra de malayalam-språklige ordene "ezhi" (mus) og "mala" (ås).
Høydepunkter: Gjemt inne i høyden er en 150-fot gammel tunnel kalt "Marmala-tunnelen", som lokale legender sier koblet høyden til Tipu Sultan-fortet flere kilometer unna. Gå inn i mørket med kun en lommelykt, og du vil kjenne den kjølige luften skifte mens du står i en passasje hugget for hånd for over 300 år siden.
Insidertips
- Bring a strong flashlight or headlamp for the Marmala Tunnel, phone lights won't cut it in the deeper sections.
- Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, the trail gets slippery near the summit after any rain.
- The Naval Academy museum on the hill requires advance permission to enter, so skip it unless you've arranged a visit beforehand.
- Visit on a weekday morning to have the summit almost entirely to yourself, weekends draw crowds from nearby Kannur.
