Kozhikode - Beaches and Backwaters 
----------------------------------
A land of serene beaches, ancient monuments, lush green countrysides, historic
sites, wildlife sanctuaries, rivers, hills, a unique culture and a warm,
friendly ambience, Kozhikode is a much sought after destination. Once the
capital of the powerful Zamorins and a prominent trade and commerce centre,
Kozhikode was the most important region of Malabar in the days gone by. 


Kappad (Beach)
--------------
This is the historic beach where Vasco da Gama landed on the 27th of May, 1498
with 170 men in three vessels. The rock studded, pleasant beach is locally
known as Kappakadavu. An interesting feature of the landscape is the sprawling
rock that protrudes into the sea. The temple on the rock is believed to be 800
years old. The Kappad Beach Resort is one of the leading centres for Ayurvedic
health holidays in Kerala (16 km from Kozhikode) 


Backwaters
----------
Once the capital of the powerful Zamorins, a prominent trade and commerce
centre 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.
