Malom post office, which was earlier situated in Darkas is now shifted to the Cultural Center building near the dairy co-operative society.

Kottanchery, which is situated about 55 km north east of Kanhangad is popular for picnics and treks.

Roman Catholic Christians from South Kerala especially from Pala and Kottayam have migrated to Malom since the 1950s.

Rubber is the main crop, and tapioca, arecanut, cashew, pepper, plantain, ginger, and turmeric are also produced.

Formal education is offered by Government Higher Secondary School Maloth Kasba.

Valiya Puncha, Venthamala, Konnakkad, Karuvankayam, Chully, Pullady, Padayankallu are the surrounding areas.The farmers and the merchants have to reach Malom to buy provisions and to sell their agricultural products.

Valiya Puncha, Pullady, Padayankallu and Venthamala are hilly areas which lie about 500 meters above the sea level.

Elephants and wild boars straying into farming fields from the forests poses serious threat to life and property of farmers residing in these borders.

Pullody is a hilly area in Maloth village with a high altitude from sea level.

Malom-Mandalam-Kuzhippunam-Cheriya Puncha-Valiyapuncha road passes through the Kerala Forest at Anakuzhi before joining Maikkayam and Konnakkad.

However the brief unpaved road stretch from Valiya Puncha to Maikayam makes the journey difficult.

There is a 20 km long road from Panathur to Sullia in Karnataka from where Bangalore and Mysore can be easily accessed.
