Malappuram Vacations
Malappuram (literally, a land atop hills) is situated 50 km southeast of Kozhikode.
Bounded by the Nilgiri hills on the east, the Arabian sea on the west and Thrissur
and Palakkad districts on the south, Malappuram is enriched by three great rivers
flowing through it - the Chaliyar, the Kadalundi and the Bharathapuzha. They
are seen in the many examples of Indo European architecture that still exist
here.
Malappuram has a rich and eventful history. It was the military headquarters
of the Zamorins of Kozhikode since ancient times. This district was the venue
for many of the Mappila revolts (uprisings against the British East India Company
in Kerala) between 1792 and 1921.
The hill country has also contributed much to the cultural heritage of Kerala.
It was a famous centre for Hindu-Vedic learning and Islamic philosophy.
