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.
