  Neolithic burial sites

  These Neolithic dolmens are in very bad shape. Most of them have collapsed with weeds and grasses completely covering them. There is a barbed fencing put up by local authorities but that doesn't stop local population from sitting on them and destroying them . A narrow road leads to small hillock on top of which these dolmens are located. Few tourists come here otherwise

  this place is great to visit during monsoon season to see natural habitat living there and cool weather.

  The Muniyaras of Marayoor

  Hemmed in by high hills that act as a rampart as it were Protecting the dead from destruction by the living, The Muniyaras of Marayoor sprawl across acres of rock, Most with cap stones gone and stripped to bare bones, Earth cover eroded by eons of exposure to the wind and the weather, Vertical slats of stone standing in stoic stubbornness, Silent skeletal sentinels of the Neolithic era That once guarded the remains of sanyasins and saints of yore. The remains are gone a long time now, returned to the bosom of the earth. The sentinels alone remain in mute testimony to a hoary past.

  Wonderful Facts that leave you awe-struck

  We can know the way people lived in mountains using rock-sheets (I wonder how they would have made rock-sheets) to make a house-like structure.

  For history buffs - very interesting!

  This is a unique thing for the conventional tourist. These megalith structures will keep you wondering how they were made in the first place and for what purpose. The megalith structures are found in two spots not far from each other on the way to Kanthaloor from Marayoor and is good for an hour of stroll. Not much of protection against vandalism is given to the monuments and nothing by way of explanation either. It was disgusting to see temples and churches encroaching into this venerable space. I wish the forest department which manages the site did a better job.
