Historical Places in Kerala

[TammyHelen]

Kozhikode is one of the regular destinations in a Kerala Tourism that is of special interest for those with an inclination towards the cultural history of a place. Once the capital of the powerful Zamorins and a prominent trade and commerce center, Kozhikode was the most important region of Malabar in the days gone by. Today, lush green countryside, serene beaches, historic sites, wildlife sanctuaries, rivers, hills, a unique culture and a warm, friendly ambience make Kozhikode a popular destination.


The Tusharagiri waterfall is a landmark of Kozhikode. As the name suggests, land and water have struck an extraordinary kinship at Thusharagiri (mist capped peaks). The plantation destination that abounds in rubber, areca nut, pepper, ginger and spices, is also a trekker’s delight. Trekkers start early morning from the second waterfall on the hills and climb up through the pristine dense evergreen forests teeming with exotic birds and animals to reach Vythiri in Wayanad district by evening.


The Peruvannamuzhi dam site set amid hills is a beautiful picnic spot. The reservoirs here provide facilities for speed and slow boat cruises. Uninhabited islands, a bird sanctuary and a crocodile farm add to the charm of the place.
