An Adventurer’s Note – Thirunetti Kallu (Kurisumala)

For some, Josegiri is a lesser known trekking or An adventurers paradise. Located in Kannur district, the mountain range is surrounded by three hills — “Kottathalachi, Olakettivana and Thirunettikallu”. And had no second thoughts – when we decided to traverse the area of “Thirunettikallu – Kurisu Mala”.

In Consideration of an ideal place for group camping, “Josegiri” is a hilly picturesque spot that fulfills a traveler’s quest for beauty with misty valleys and scenic surroundings. The lush greenery, hovering dark clouds, misty mountain breeze and the wriggling rivulets make the destination it a Adventurers paradise.

One can reach Josegiri through Alakode-Udayagiri route. The cool air is what draws most people to this place. So the ideal time to visit would be early morning (Let say 4-7 Am) or after 4 pm. The rocky roads uphill, with deep gorges in the turns, dangerously seducing, are exhilarating.  

Stopovers on the route provide magnificent views of the valley and the rolling plains below.

Josegiri stands 3,000 feet above the sea level and its hills have everything a nature lover or photographer seeks. The undulating hills, green meadows, mystical pine forest, mellowed mountain streams and a small waterfall — it’s the perfect place. For those who love exciting river rafting, it is been offered in nearby Tejaswini River.

My better half Jayakrishna Thrives & spend her whole childhood in Josegiri. Her father Vijayan CG came with us, to guide us and explore the whole place. Its a gift – your help/time/support means more than anything money can buy. I really appreciate all that you’ve done and hope this note provides a small token of my gratitude & is fully dedicated to you Thanks!
