Kannur - Quiet a story

Tucked away in one of the northern most corners of Kerala, about 114 km away from Calicut airport (now known as Kozhikode) is Kannur. Your flight is welcomed by the sight of thousands of lush green palm trees interspersed by paddy fields in small clearings. Formerly known by its Anglicised name of Cannanore, the district was home to the only Muslim royal family in the state of Kerala. This underexposed paradise has a variety of fare to offer travelers with multifarious interests. From sprawling clean beaches, clear backwaters, historic forts at drive down distances, sacred ancient temples, rejuvenating ayurverdic massages and a colourful bunch of people whose lifestyles are immersed in culture, religion and art, Kannur boasts of having a slice of it all.
