Kozhikode or Calicut, located on the Malabar Coast, is one of the most renowned and
salubrious backwater destinations in Kerala, having once been an important spice trading
centre. It is thronged by thousands of visitors every year, and offers some of the best
travel packages in Kerala for exploring its virgin and untouched backwaters!
Fringed with groovy palm thickets, the Kozhikode backwaters are unique and are connected by
canal networks. While cruising along these backwaters, visitors also get to witness,
explore, discover, and enjoy the rustic charm of Kerala’s rural cultures.
Ideal for honeymoon cruises, family vacations, weekend escapades, the charm and allurement
of Kozhikode backwaters get enhanced by the jolly houseboats that are most common here. The
gurgling Kali River and Canoli Canal in Calicut also makes it for exciting and fun-frolic
backwater tours in Kerala.
For those who want to enjoy the best of Kozhikode backwaters, they must plan their Kerala trip during the winters or between the months of October to March. This is the time when the mercury level drops down and offers an extremely pleasant experience of backwater cruising in Kozhikode.
