A complete guide around Beypore

Often overshadowed by the more bustling Kozhikode town, Beypore is itself a place worth exploring once you know the rich history of this ancient port. If north Kerala was the hub of international trade in the ancient times, then Beypore port was the gateway.

It is historically famous for building 'urus' or huge wooden boats that the Arabs used to trade and fish within the past. Now these architectural marvels are used as a tourist attraction.

This estuarine port town is only 11 kilometres from Kozhikode and offers a much more laid back beach retreat. It is currently the second largest port in Kerala following the Cochin port in Ernakulam district.

Traditional Boating at Kadalundi Service of Green Island Tourism

It's a nice place to visit if you want some place which is away from chaos of city, It's joining place of Kadalundi river in to Arabian Sea. Kadalundi bridge is beautiful sunset view point which faces 180° to the sea one side...and opposite side to the bird sanctuary and mangrove settlement. Calm quiet and peaceful, you can hire a boat from sanctuary office for a closer look of the birds. Boat ride in the traditional style is a must do through the sanctuary, Boat Service provides with sea food also, If anyone interested in Traditional Boat Service with Food you can contact Green Island Tourism at Kadalundi Bird Santuary, They provide safe, hygienic and joyful journey through the Kadalundi River, thier Contact Details: 9539338338, 9447192053, 9526902890

It's a Paradise for Bird Watchers and photographers. The place is nice with awesome view. Good for Family visit.

I had actually anticipated trip to this place but against all the excitement what I got was a disappointment. Partly because of weather and partly because of poor maintenance and lack of proper information. Despite being late November, I couldn't see any migratory birds and even domicile birds were hard to see besides a few ones. No support or informations for tourists coming to this place.

We visited this place in November 2015. Very difficult to locate this place. The access needs lot of improvement. No sign-board or direction indicators. Government of kerala must improve the facility here. There were a lot of birds floating on the backwaters when we visited this place. One needs binoculars for a close look at the birds. No guide was available. No boating facility. The office was closed when we reached there. Still, bird lovers can visit this place. It is about 30 Kms from Calicut. One needs own vehicle.

Nearly half an hours drice from Kozhikode city will take you to kadalundi bird sanctuary. A railway station is also there in Kadalundi and the sanctuary starts from near the railway station. The sanctuary is a mangrove habitat and is a recluse for migratory birds from around the world. The birds flock to kadalundi after the monsoons. But Kadalundi is more beautiful during the monsoons like any other place in Kerala.

It was in the month of December last year. After our visit to the Beypore port we thought it would be worthwhile to visit Kadalundy Bird sanctuary which is located not very far from there, but the experience was a damp squib. No directions were available to the sanctuary anywhere on the roads. After enquiring from the locals, somehow we reached there and hired a small boat to take us round through the river. Though the sanctuary claimed to be the abode for more than a hundred species of native birds and over 60 species of migratory birds like sea gulls, terns, sandpipers, sand plovers, red and green shanks, turn stones, that flock here in large numbers from November to April, we could sight only sea gulls. The place is beautiful and serene but the Govt has failed miserably in developing this area as a prime tourist attraction of Kozhikode.

As part of the action plan, project review meetings and special grama sabhas were conducted in each Local Self Government. Five webinars were held in association with Beypore Mandalam Development Mision.  The Beypore Integrated Responsible Tourism development project was inaugurated by Tourism Minister Mr P. A. Mohamed Riyas on November 28, 2021. The project aims to train 400 local community members in entrepreneurship programmes and also develop 1,000 RT units in the project area. Further, different training programmes on handicrafts and souvenir making were held from February 22, 2022, to March 5, 2022. Handcraft training on candle making, shell craft, terracotta, dream catcher, paper bag, and paper pen, along with homestay training and training on community tour leaders and agri-tourism networks have also been conducted.
