Phantom Rock
Phantom Rock, also known as Cheengeri Mala, is a striking natural rock formation located about 13 kilometers from Kalpetta, in the heart of Wayanad, Kerala. This iconic site derives its name from its uncanny resemblance to the face of the legendary comic book superhero, the Phantom, also known as "The Ghost Who Walks." The rock’s skull-like shape is especially reminiscent of the Phantom’s masked visage, making it a popular destination for tourists and photographers alike.
Phantom Rock stands at an impressive elevation of 2,600 meters above sea level, surrounded by lush greenery that enhances its mystical appearance. The formation of Phantom Rock is a result of millennia of natural erosion, where wind and water have shaped the granite layers into the structure we see today. This geological wonder is not only a visual treat but also an archaeological marvel, with no similar formations known to exist elsewhere in the world. The rock’s unique shape has made it a symbol of Wayanad’s rich natural heritage.
Phantom Rock is easily accessible by trekking through narrow trails, which adds an element of adventure to the visit. The area is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including medicinal plants used by local communities for centuries. Birdwatchers will find the surrounding forests teeming with species like the Malabar Grey Hornbill and the White-bellied Treepie.
