Phantom Rock is a tourist destination in Ambalavayal in the district of Wayanad in Kerala.[1][2] It is a natural metamorphic rock formation resembling a human skull, and thus is known as Phantom Rock.[3]

This structure is situated 17 km from Kalpetta and can be reached by trekking. It stands at a height of 2600 feet above sea level. It is near "Cheengeri Mala". Edakkal Caves is also nearby.[4]

Threats

[edit]

Unscientific and unregulated granite mining is posing a serious threat to the fragile natural rock structure.[5][6]
