Kuthiran is a mountainous terrain in Thrissur district of Kerala state, south India. It is located on the banks of Manali river, which has its source in the nearby mountains. It is in between Thrissur and Palakkad. There is a famous Ayyappan Temple located here by the side of the highway. It is in the NH544 highway. This place is known for Kuthiran Tunnel that shortens travel time between Thrissur and Palakkad districts.
