Oottupara Tourist Spot Alapra - Tourist attraction in Kottayam - Kottayam, India

Great place for nature lovers. There is a short 1km walk from the parking area. The pathway is well marked. Lot of spectacular views of mountains. Good during sunrise and sunset. Not crowded so one can enjoy nature in peace.

A place to visit in the evenings ..It can be reached after a trek of about 1.5 - 2km through the forest. The forest is surrounded on all sides by human habitation, and there are no dangerous animals inside. The view from the top is amazing. The people from the surrounding areas are also just starting to know this place .. So the environmental pollution is very low .. Don't expect anything more .. A place to go and sit in peace ..

Visual beauty please don't put any plastic in there. Need to walk around 1km like 15 min you'll get a nice forest trucking for free I think may police won't allow go to inside the forest because it's a restricted area

First of all this is inside reserve forest and trespassing may cause problems. So try to get permission. There is nothing much to expect but It is a little walk through the forest and it is so beautiful. And view from the top of the rock is amazing. You can peacefully sit and enjoy the beauty. Go carefully as there may be leeches(rainy season), snake etc. Dont bring plastic, lighter etc.

Walk through the forest like area for nearly 1.5km to enjoy the view point at the end. Remember to not throw any plastic here and destroy the natural beauty of this area. Good to carry snacks, water, umberalla etc for the trip.

One day away from your daily chores...jus be here and enjoy the breeze. Elderly people and small kids are not recommended but those who can make themselves uphill must not miss the view from top. Early mornings and evenings are the good times to be here. Donot litter . You can scream.on top of your voice and enjoy the echoes

A very nice place to visit with friends...You can spend some time here chitchatting with friends and enjoy the view or take photos..We have to walk for some distance from mainroad through forest to reach the top but you don't feel like climbing an high altitude place but actually after reaching you can see how high you are..
