It is said that Pazhassi’s troops camped in the vicinity of Kunkichira in Periya Reserve Forest, planned and executed different military strategies against the English force. Beyond two mountain peaks from Kunkichira, lies the “Ottupara” where the Pazhassi Raja army was betrayed. Even today it is a wilderness. The house of Thalakkal Chandu, archer and Commander-in-Chief of Pazhassi’s army, is also situated in this historical place.
