Sūryamudi
Suryamudi is a 1,381-metre mountain peak in Kerala's Western Ghats, rising within the protected forests of Kottiyoor Wildlife Sanctuary near the Kannur–Wayanad border. Its name — "Mount of the Sun" — evokes the golden light that washes over its rainforest-wrapped summit at dawn. For trekkers and nature lovers, it offers a day-long expedition through tribal villages, ethnic farmland, and dense evergreen canopy, making it one of northern Kerala's most rewarding off-the-beaten-path destinations.
