Munderi is a small village in Nilambur Taluk of Malappuram District, in Kerala. It got the name from "Mount Area" as it is surrounded by mountain ranges. The un-tarred forest road from Munderi towards North through forests lead to Chooralmala (near Meppadi) in Wayanad district.

## Chaliyar River

[edit]

River Chaliyar originates from the Elampalari Hills, which is located near the meeting point of Malappuram, Wayanad and the Nilgiris districts; from where it flows through Thalappaali and reaches Thamburattikkallu where Neerppuzha, coming from 'Glen-rock' through 'Appangaappu' (origin: up and gap), the eastern part of Munderi joins with it as the first tributary.

## Plantations

[edit]

Munderi is the place where Asia's first rubber plantation was established. Munderi is also famous for its Seed Garden Complex, spread on Thamburattikkallu-Thalappali road. It is the first largest agricultural farm in Kerala and is owned by Govt. of Kerala (Dept. of Agriculture). There was a big silica stone called 'Thamburattikkallu' at the place with the same name (western part of Munderi) which was demolished and given to Excel Glass company in Alappuzha, in early 1990s.
