The visit to Kottappara Viewpoint which became popular on social media as Mini Meesapulimala has been restricted by forest department. The morning white mist (Kodamanju) here appearing like clouds, provides an amazing view to spectators. For the past few weeks, there have been a steep increase in the number of tourists coming here. The forest department imposed restrictions on the entry of tourists naming security issues. The Kottapara Viewpoint became popular all of a sudden.
