Madayipara is a small but enchanting flat-topped hillock located in the district of Kannur, in the state of Kerala, India. This laterite plateau spans an area of approximately 365 hectares. It's a biodiversity hotspot that hosts an array of flora and fauna, including several endemic species of plants. Throughout different seasons, Madayipara changes its color paletteâ€”from the lush green monsoon carpet to the vivid hues of various wildflowers during spring. Not only is it a haven for botanists and nature enthusiasts, but it also holds historical significance with the presence of ancient ruins, including a fort and a temple. The Madayi Kavu Temple and the remaining ruins of a Jewish synagogue are noteworthy historical landmarks. The plateau offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, including the Kuppam River. Madayipara is significant as a cultural and ecological site, and its serene atmosphere makes it an ideal location for picnics and quiet contemplation.

Madayipara
