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. 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.
