Marottichal is one of the less known hills in Thrissur district of Kerala. Though not recognized by the Kerala tourism department, the place is a host to several trekkers. Located in Thrissur district, Marottichal can be reached by driving around 25 km east from Amballur, NH 47. Direct bus services are there from Thrissur bus stand. A 4-hour trekking can take you to the top of hill. On the way you have several streams of water. At the top end you have a tall waterfall, at about 2 km walking distance from Marottichal bus stop. The waterfall has several branches at top. Walking through the cool shade of forest will give a great pleasure.[1]

The hill is also a grazing area of wild elephants.[2]

The village is famous for chess-playing population. A movie, August Club has been made on the villagers’ obsession for chess.[3]
