Kerala Backwaters
Kozhikode Backwater

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. Elathur, the Canolly Canal and the Kallai river are favourite
haunts for boating. Kadalundi, with its beautiful bird sanctuary is a charming
site. Korapuzha, the venue of the Korapuzha Jalotsavam is fast becoming a popular
water sport destination.
