malappuram

The district name “Malappuram” literally means “a land atop hills” which is situated on the banks of the Bharathapuzha 50 Km southeast of Kozhikode bounded by the three great rivers of Chaliyar, the Kadalundi and the Bharathapuzha. Malappuram nestles between the Lakshdweep sea on the east, the beautiful Nilgiri hills on the west, and is bounded by the other Kerala Districts of Kozhikode on the north and Palakkad on the south. The district is popular for its unique natural beauty of undulating hills, meandering rivers alongside the coconut-fringed seacoast.
