Valapattanam

Welcome to Valapattanam, a captivating destination along the historic Malabar coastline, where tales echo back to the time of King Solomon himself. Legends speak of this place as the source of timber for Solomon's famed 'Temple of the Lord', drawing from its lush forests that still thrive today.

Nestled on the banks of River Valapattanam in Kannur, you'll find the Western India Plywood Ltd., a beacon of South East Asia's wood-based industry. Here, the rich natural reservoir of forests yields prized woods like Teak, Iruli, Elavu, and even Sandalwood (Santalum album), enriching the area with its bounty. Amidst this verdant landscape, discover diverse cash crops such as tea, coffee, rubber, cashew nuts, and the unique Pukayila (tobacco), cultivated exclusively in this region of Kerala.

Valapattanam isn't just about its natural wealth; it's a cultural tapestry woven with traditions that endure. Visit the bustling fishing harbour, where tourists witness the age-old practice of timber transport. Watch as long timber pieces are skilfully tied together and gently floated down the stream—an unforgettable sight that connects visitors to the region's maritime heritage.

Beyond its industrial and agricultural prowess, Valapattanam beckons with scenic vistas that inspire awe. Whether you're strolling along the riverbanks, exploring the vibrant local markets, or indulging in fresh seafood at quaint eateries, every moment here promises a glimpse into Kerala's coastal charm.

Embrace the allure of Valapattanam, where history meets modernity against a backdrop of natural beauty. Whether you're drawn by its legendary tales, diverse flora, or unique traditions, this coastal gem invites you to uncover its treasures and create memories that linger long after your journey ends.
