About the tour

Discover the heritage, flavours and coastal character of North Kerala on a six-day journey through Kannur, Thalassery and Kozhikode. Designed for travellers who enjoy history, local culture and regional food, this itinerary connects historic forts, traditional neighbourhoods, vibrant markets and inviting beaches. Begin in Kannur, where maritime history and living traditions define the region's identity. Continue to Thalassery for its colonial-era landmarks and celebrated biryani before exploring Kozhikode, a historic trading city known for its spice connections, culinary culture and welcoming seaside atmosphere. Along the way, discover traditional boatbuilding heritage at Beypore, browse local markets, sample Malabar specialities and enjoy time beside the Arabian Sea. The itinerary maintains a balanced pace, with two nights in Kannur, one in Thalassery and two in Kozhikode, before returning to Kannur for departure on Day 6.
