'''Vavul Mala''' is a peak in the [[Western Ghats]] in the [[Vellarimala]] range of [[Kerala]], [[India]]. It is situated at the trijunction of the districts of [[Malappuram district|Malappuram]], [[Kozhikode district|Kozhikode]], and [[Wayanad]] in Kerala. Vavulmala resembles a "Camel Hump". Situated at a height of 2,339m,<ref>[http://www.ecostat.kerala.gov.in/docs/pdf/reports/ps/pswayanad2011.pdf Malappuram District - Panchayath Statistics 2011]</ref> it is the highest peak in the Western Ghats northwards beyond [[Nilgiri mountains|the Nilgiris]] and also the highest point of Kozhikode district. These compact hills are floristically similar to [[Nilgiri hills]].<br />
<br />
The first volume of [[William Logan (author)|William Logan's]] 1887 publication Malabar Manual (the work was later followed up by the Malabar Gazetteer of 1908) refers the 7,677-foot high Vavul Mala as a landmark conspicuous far out to the [[Arabian sea]]. <ref>[https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.358941/2015.358941.Madras-District_djvu.txt Malabar Manual - Volume I]</ref><br />
<br />
