Malappuram

It comes from the word malla means hills and puram means top. It has Nilgiris in the east and the Arabian sea in the west. Four important rivers of Kerala, flow through Malappuram district. They are, Chaliyar , Kadalundipuzha, Bharathapuzha and Tirurpuzha.

The topography of the district is highly undulating; starting from the hill tops covered with thick forests on the east along the Nilgiris, it gradually slopes down to the valleys and the small hills , before finally ending on the sandy flat of luxuriant coconut groves in the west.
Elephants, deers, tigers, blue monkeys, dears, boars, rabbits etc. are found in the forests along with a variety of birds and reptiles. Forests are the main source of raw material for a number of wood-based industrial units. Besides timber, firewood and green manure, forest produces like honey, medicinal herbs, spices etc. are collected. Minor forest produces are collected by the tribals.
