location_on Kerala map South India 🦁 Wildlife Muliyar Kerala Kasaragod village tribal forests agriculture

Muliyar is a remote village in the Kasaragod district of Kerala, known for its lush forests and agricultural lands. The village is home to a significant tribal population, offering a glimpse into traditional Kerala life away from the bustling cities.

Visit Muliyar for an authentic rural experience and to explore the natural beauty of Kerala's hinterlands. The remoteness can be a drawback, making it less accessible and offering fewer modern amenities. However, the tranquility and unique cultural immersion make it worthwhile for adventurous travelers.

Reaching Muliyar requires some planning due to its remote location. Allow at least 2-3 days to fully appreciate the village and its surroundings, factoring in travel time from major cities like Mangalore or Kochi.

When To Visit

Best Time

October to March

24-32 degrees C

Pleasant and dry weather makes this the ideal time to explore the outdoors. The humidity is lower, making it comfortable for trekking and sightseeing.

Why Visit:

The weather is perfect for exploring the forests and plantations around Muliyar. Waterfalls are at their fullest after the monsoon, creating stunning scenery. This is also festival season, offering cultural experiences.

Tip: This is peak tourist season, so expect slightly higher prices and more visitors at popular spots. Booking accommodation in advance is recommended.

Shoulder Season

June and September

26-30 degrees C

The weather is moderately wet with occasional showers. The landscape is lush and green after the monsoon rains.

Why Visit:

Fewer tourists visit during this time, offering a more peaceful experience. The natural beauty is at its peak, with vibrant greenery everywhere.

Tip: Outdoor activities may be affected by rain. Check weather forecasts before planning treks or visits to waterfalls.

Avoid

April and May

30-35 degrees C

Extremely hot and humid weather can make it uncomfortable to explore during the day. The heat can be especially intense in the afternoons.

Why Avoid:

The heat makes outdoor activities difficult and unpleasant. Water levels in waterfalls and rivers may be low, reducing their appeal.

Note: If you must visit during this time, stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activities during peak heat hours.
