'''Malamel''' is a village in Pathanapuram Taluk in [[Kollam district]], [[Kerala]], [[India]]. This village is situated between [[Anchal]] and Valakom bypass road. In [[Malayalam]], Malamel means "Top of the hill".

==Rock Temples==
At Malamel, there is a huge rock on which there is a famous Shiva Temple. A temple festival is held on 3 December. The temple has 5 doors and is considered to be divine and ancient because of the close proximity of ''Jadayupara'' ([[Chadayamangalam]]) (the rock that ''Jadayu'' carried on his wings). It has also a cave at extreme left of the temple, which a British Adventurer in the year 1946, tried in vain to venture into, and which leads to the [[Kulathupuzha|Kulathupuzha Forest]]. This cave is believed to be a haven for very venomous [[snake]]s.
Famous temples like ''Arackal Devi Temple'' and ''Perumannur Devi Temple'' are nearby. [[Kottarakara Sree Mahaganapathy Kshethram]] is 12 km away.

[[Kottarakara]] and [[Punalur]] are the towns nearest to the village.
