Illickal Kallu Backside - Tourist attraction in Poonjar Vadakkekara - Kottayam, India

It's a really beautiful place to visit. If you guys are planning to trek uphill - caution 1) don't carry any bag or any heavy items 2)wear good boots or shoes that don't slip 3) avoid climbing if it had rained recently 4)bring someone with you The climb is really dangerous and deadly. I went alone and the rocks were kinda slippery too... Managed to climb almost to the top by taking so many risks but at last I could go up anymore. I had a camera backpack too. So I had to climb down. If u guys are fit and do climbing and trekking always - then it won't be a problem. The view is too good

I recently visited this place and it was truly worth the effort to reach here. The experience was amazing and I highly recommend it to others. The road and overall infrastructure were well-maintained, and it is evident that the team has put in great effort to ensure a pleasant visit. However, there are a few things to be aware of before planning your visit. Firstly, I noticed a lack of security from the local staff, which could be improved to provide a safer experience for visitors. Additionally, it was disappointing to find that there were no toilets or stores available on-site. Make sure you come prepared with any necessities you may require during your visit. Another important consideration is the steep terrain, especially during rainy days. Climbing can be extremely dangerous under such conditions, so exercise caution and only attempt it if you are confident in your abilities. For the best experience, I recommend visiting between 6 am to 10 am and 5:30 pm to 7 pm. Overall, this place offers a unique and worthwhile experience, but it's important to be mindful of the limitations and potential risks involved. With some improvements in security and facilities, it has the potential to become an even more enjoyable destination.

You must visit this place once if you want to enjoy nature especially in the early morning or in the evening. 4000ft above the sea level. We can enjoy trekking with friends or family.The place is very dangerous while it is raining.

Such an amazing beauty.. Must visit in the early morning or evening.. Less explored by people. The travel is worth it. The view is amazing.

This is backside of illikal kallu. Really nice views and ambience. Unless front side there's no restrictions at this end for vehicles. 2 shops available for snacks and drinks. If you're planning to hike be very careful. It's bit risky and don't hike during rains. Make sure to wear good shoes and take necessary precautions. View from top is very nice even from the road it's a must visit place. Go in the evenings and make sure to get down before getting dark.

Good experience 30 mints trekking is there. Should carry some water in your back bag . At the top very nice to watch clam and quite place and must visit place at down side few shops are there

Best place to visit in misty mornings or evening Better to avoid once sun is high Take some foods with you as the small shops there are not permanent If you are a fan of trekking.. surely try going up the hill Better to visit this place before going to the actual illillal kallu view point. It takes at least 30 mins to drive between both for first time comers.. so plan accordingly

You have to climb steep hairpin bends to reach here. Best to visit at dawn or dusk. Be careful not to climb up during rainy season. It is recommended that young children and the elderly do not climb up
