Banglavu Kunnu (Bungalow Hill) is a bungalow located in Nilambur. It was built by the Imperial Forest Service in 1929 under British colonial rule. The original purpose of the bungalow was to see the approach of the Tippu Sultan's army via Nadukani Churam. It is situated in Chandakunnu near the Chaliyar River. The bungalow is surrounded by 100-year-old mahogany trees planted during the colonial times for their use as timber which were to be shipped to Portugal by the Portuguese. This practice was threatened by the resistance of the people of the Malabar region against the brutality of the Portuguese, which was stiff and ultimately resulted in victory. The place is home to many varieties of flora and fauna. The major wild animals include the bonnet macaque, gray langur, wild boar, junglefowl, hare, and porcupine.

There is an old bungalow. Then there is a sky walk. There are about 300 steps to walk. But the place is difficult to find from main road. The sky walk is in middle of a small forest like region so that there is fresh air, cool breeze. Nature photography can be done here.
Bungalow kunnu is famous for its British bungalow. This D.F.O bangalow is situated 2km away from Chanthakunnu bus-stop in Nilambur, Malappuram. A visitor to Nilambur may find a few hours to spend at this bangalow which was earlier the official residence of British forest officers. Wen Kerala state was formed, it came under the forest department of Nilambur. The forest officers had their residence here. It was also the office of flying squad and wireless operating centre. Later it became a part of Eastern Tourism Corridor and a sky-walk through the new circuit road was constructed at a height of 6 metres and a total length of 140 metres, This region is a photographer’s paradise. Those who love photography can click stunning frames in the forest. A lovely place to spend your leisure with your family or friends. It is not safe to trek inside the forest late night. In case you wish to stay here, you can avail the dormitory service of the forest department. The other spots of tourist attractions close by are the Nilambur Kovilakam, Teak Museum, Cannoli plot, Chaliyar Mukku, Adyanpara falls, Kakkadampoyil and Nadukani Churam.
The place is too good for a great green walk through the chest of forest. I think the place can be maintained a little more. Also they are charging 40 per person and is too high for a place like this
The ambience and all other factors are awesome but the service by the authority is bad
