Thirichittoor Rock, Natural rock formation near Nedumangad, Kerala.

The rock formation rises approximately 150 meters above ground level, offering views across both Nedumangad town and Trivandrum city.

This geological site contains mineral formations dating back to the Eoarchean Era, marking billions of years of tectonic activities in the Western Ghats.

Two temples stand on the rock, with the main shrine dedicated to Lord Hanuman and another structure at the base managed by Travancore Devaswom Board.

Visitors can access the site through Thirichittoor junction, followed by a thirty-minute walk to reach the temples, which open twice daily.

The name Thirichittoor derives from Malayalam language terms meaning return or turn, connecting to the rock's role in ancient Indian literature.
