Kozhikode
Backwaters
Once
the capital of the powerful zamorins, a prominent trade and commerce center
and the land of the Malabar Mahotsavam, Kozhikode was the most important
region of Malabar in the days gone by. Today, ancient monuments, lush green
countrysides, serene beaches, historic sites, wildlife sanctuaries, rivers,
hills, a unique culture and a warm, friendly ambience make this district a
much sought after destination.
Unexplored, unspoiled, the
backwaters of Kozhikode hold great promises of enchanting holiday options.

Kadalundi, with its beautiful bird
sanctuary is a charming site.
