Thirichittoor Rock (or Thirichitta Paara) is a large rock located three kilometres north of Nedumangad.
It is written in the Ramayana that Hanuman returned the rock after Sethubandan. "Thirichitta" in the Malayalam language means return or turn.
The rock is a tourist spot, and those who climb it can enjoy views of the town of Nedumangad and the city of Trivandrum, and visit two temples which have been built on top of the rock. The temples are dedicated to Hanuman Siva and Vishnu.
