Nedumkayam is around 5 km from
Malappuram and 18 km from
Nilambur. It is famous for its rich rain forests. The elephant training center also attracts tourists. The region is home to elephants, bisons, deers, tigers, blue monkeys, bears, rabbits, wild cats and a variety of birds and reptiles. Half an hour jeep journey from Nedukayam through the dense forests leads to Mancheri, the settlement of Chola Naikars - a primitive tribe. Permission from the forest department is required to enter the forest zone.
Nilambur Railway Station and
Calicut Airport are the nearest railhead and airport respectively.
