Kakkadampoyil
കക്കാടംപൊയിൽ
A hill town at about 2,000 feet above sea level, with clouds, plantations and the Kozhippara Falls. It is a weekend retreat for Kozhikode residents.
Kakkadampoyil sits on the Western Ghats slopes on the border between Kozhikode and Malappuram, about 50 kilometers from the city. Along the mountain roads are rubber, areca nut and spice plantations, and clouds drift through the town in the morning. The nearby Kozhippara Falls have natural pools where you can splash in shallow water during the dry season. The town has guesthouses and campsites, good for watching sunrise and stargazing at night. The mountain roads have many sharp bends. During the monsoon the falls run too fast, so do not go into the water.
