'''Karulai''' is a small town and [[panchayath]] in [[Nilambur Taluk]] of [[Malappuram district]]. It is situated on the banks of the [[Karimpuzha (Malappuram)|Karimpuzha]] River. [[Edakkara]], [[Nilambur]], Pookkottumpadam, and [[Vaniyambalam]] are the nearest towns.

==Tourist attraction==
{{expand section|date=May 2020}}
Karulai is the "gods' own village" in Kerala State with green forest, and has a variety of animals and fish in the River Karimpuzha. A considerable area of the Karulai village is forest which includes the Nedumkayam Rainforest. {{cn|date=May 2020}}

==Nedumkayam==
'''Nedumkayam''' is 14 km from [[Nilambur]] town, in [[Malappuram district]], [[Kerala]], India. Nedumkayam is noted especially for its rich rain forests. The wooden resthouse built here by the [[United Kingdom|British]] offers a panoramic view of the [[elephant]] and deer grazing in the forest nearby . One has to get prior permission from the [[Indian Forest Service]] to enter the forest zone. Heavy restrictions are imposed as a measure to save the existing forest land. An elephant taming center is also located here. Nilambur including Nedumkayam has been selected for being developed as Kerala's second [[ecotourism]] destination. It is very beautiful and very good tourist center. There is a huge demand for the last several years to create the [[Nilambur]] - Karulai - [[Silent Valley National Park|Silent Valley]] - [[Coimbatore]] road. Nedumkayam rainforest is a part of Nilgiri's Biosphere Resreve.People rave about the fresh air and clear water that flows through, along with rare species of flora and fauna, and this is home to almost all of the mammals in western ghats and more than 200 species of birds hence classifying it as an important bird area.
