Kannur Holiday Trip

About Kannur

A. D., the Kingdom of Kannur Forte to be known as Kolathunad and Kolathiris to be known to the rulers. Kolathiris became famous all over the north of Kerala and were the opponents of Kozhikode's Zamorins. A number of Arab scholars visited places like Baliapatam, Srikantapuram, Dharamadamadam during that time. In all the political movements of recent times, the Kannur District has played an important role. The Indian National Congress attracted the attention of this district's citizens. The Non-Violent Non-Co-operation movement began as a way of achieving Swaraj, leading to a widespread boycott in Kannur of foreign goods, law courts, and educational institutions. The key venue of the Salt Sathyagraha in Malabar was Payyannur in the Kannur district. At Payyannur, the Satyagraha camp was raided, and the campers.

In the south-western state of Kerala in India, Kannur is one of the northernmost districts. The old name 'Cannanore' is the anglicized version of the Kannur word in Malayalam. Earlier, the deity of the temple of Katalayi Sreekrishna was housed in a shrine at Katalayi Kotta in the south-eastern part of the town of Kannur. In the northern coastal region of Kerala, Kannur is a city. During the British Raj, it was also known as Cannanore. The Kannur name has two possibilities for etymology. One is that the name was derived from Kanathur, an ancient village. The other hypothesis is that it's a mixture of two words, Kannan-meaning Lord Krishna and Ur-meaning place, rendering the literal translation 'Lord Krishna's place.' Due to the loom industry here, it has been titled the Land of Looms and Lores.

Muzhapillangad Strand : Almost 15 kilometers south of Kannur, a drive-in beach. It is one of Kannur's best places to visit. It is a joy to be surrounded by the calming white sands with the background lashing sounds of the waves. If you can rent a car, then get ready to take a long drive along the beach later to park and have a little picnic while watching the divine sunset. A must if you love the beaches to explore!

Fort St. Angelos, Kannur : St. Angelo Fort, also referred to as Kannur Fort or Kannur Kotta, is a fort in the Kerala district of Kannur, facing the Arabian Sea. From a hill, the fort juts out. This fort was founded in 1505 by India's first Portuguese viceroy, Dom Francisco De Almeida. A local ruler named Zamorin attacked it but he was unable to catch it.

Tourist attractions in Kannur

Kannur, Dharmadam Island : This island is referred to as the Green Island as well. It is situated in Thalassery in Kerala's Kannur district. This is a tiny private island of outstanding scenery. This is an uninhabited island overlooking the Thalaserry and the Anjarakandy Rivers, overflowing with thick coconut trees. During a low tide, when the water level is relatively low, you can also make your way to the island. This position is surrounded on three sides by rivers and on its western side by the Arabian Sea.

Ezhimala, Kannur:Elimala, Sailam Mooshika, and Sailam Sapta. This is a high hill in the district of Kannur in Kerala, situated in Payyanur. In ancient history and also in the Chola-Chera battlefield, this position is very significant. At the beginning of the Common Age, it was a thriving city and a hub of trade. Some still claim that it has been Lord Buddha's abode for some time. Once upon a time, this hill was named Mount Delly by the British, or Monte D'Ely by the Portuguese.

Bay Moppila: It is better known as the Bay of Mapila or the Beach of Mappila. It is situated in such a way that the Fort of St. Angelo is on one side and the Fort of Arakkul on the other. This is the key reason why this location has become a tourist hotspot. It has acted as a port used for commercial purposes in the past. It was the connection between the Malabar trade route and other nations. Fishing has become the main occupation here in present times and has thus completely taken over all kinds of activities.

The sea has a wall separating the saltwater zone of the sea from the fishing area of Kannur Fort. This has proven to be of great assistance to the local fishermen here. At present, this place has been dropped from the status of a tourist attraction to a mere fishing harbor by pollution and crowds. Nonetheless, given the view and the boating facilities, this place continues to draw visitors. Those are the places in Kannur to explore.

Muzhappilangad :A dream beach, one kilometer west of N.H.17 between Thalasseri and Kannur - as if Muzhappilagad Panchayath had been decorated by the Arabian Sea with an anklet. The beach is 7 kilometers long and approximately 100 meters wide. When the sea recedes during low tide, the width can rise to more than 200 meters. Since the shore is curved like a semicircle, the other end of the beach can be seen from one end of it. Under the shadows of the palm grove, outside the pine trees, international visitors are sipping sweet little ones. Waves that hug the shore steadily appear to have a shy girl's modesty. The Dharmadam Islet in the Eastern Sea is full of palm trees and creepers. The surf-filled Muzhappilangad beach is, of course, a gem. Muzhappilangad seashore is a good place to unload your stresses, more than a drive-in beach.
