There is an observatory tower made by the department of tourism at the hilltop which can be reached after a 45 min walk from the Paithal valley. Trekking starts through the dense forest followed by the plain grass land on the hill top. View of the valley from the observatory tower is breathtaking and the observer's eyes can hover over more than half the area of Kannur district. Most of the visitors end their trek having time spent around the tower, but much of the excitement of the Paithalmala is located elsewhere.
