Tenhippalam Voyage Tips and guide

Contents

Tenhippalam or Thenhippalam, or Chelari is a small village in Malappuram District, Kerala, India. The headquarters of the University of Calicut is situated here.

Tenhippalam is a hill town ideal for trekking. A large number of students and teachers from all over India live here because there is a 500-acre campus of the University of Calicut here.

Tenhippalam is easily accessible by bus from Feroke Railway Station. There is an airport in Karippur, some 10 km away. Buses are available from Kozhikode and Thrissur.

The university buildings are in a 500 acre campus. So take an auto rickshaw from the bus stop. On the way back, you will have to walk. It is good logic to collect the mobile numbers of two or three rikshaw wallahs.
