Kurushumala hills is a Christian pilgrimage center in Vagamon. Apart fro that, this is also an excellent trekking site in Vagamon. The hike starts at Kallillakavala (Kurisumala base). As you trek up, there are 14 crosses (known as 'Way of the cross') at regular intervals on the hill. There is a small church on top. The trek is a bit hard and is not for those with health problems. But the view form the top is unbeatable. The cool breeze atop will take away all the tiredness. Near the hills there is an ashram, home of Christian monks and a dairy farm managed by the monks. The place is frequented by tourists all through the year. On Good Friday and Easter season many followers do the trek up Kurusumala carrying wooden cross as a pilgrimage.
