Book with the place itself. India’s cyber-crime coordination centre warned in April 2025 that convincing copies of hotel and pilgrimage booking sites are being pushed through sponsored search and social ads, taking payment for rooms the property never hears about. Every listing here links to the business’s own contact details and its own Google or Bing profile — we take no commission and sit in nobody’s payment path. If a booking page reached you through an ad, check the address bar against the property’s own site before you pay. Fraud can be reported on cybercrime.gov.in or on 1930.

wildlifeKadalundi Bird Sanctuary

Where the Kadalundi river meets the Arabian Sea, roughly nineteen kilometres from Kozhikode city and split across two districts. Over a hundred native bird species have been recorded here and about sixty migratory species visit seasonally — whimbrels and brahminy kites among the named ones. Ignore the "200 metres above sea level" in Wikipedia's infobox: this is a tidal estuary at a river mouth.

wildlifeKadalundi Vallikkunnu Community Reserve

A community reserve is a different legal animal from a sanctuary — it is declared over land where people keep their rights and agree to conserve it. This was Kerala's first, declared in 2007, covering 153.84 hectares including 21.22 hectares of reserve forest, and protecting mangrove, mudflat and five named islands: Company Thuruthu, Cheru Thuruthu, Cee Pee Thuruthu, Bala Thuruthu and Mannan Thuruthu.
