Places to Visit in Malappuram District

Malappuram is the heart of the historic Malabar region, known for its unique Islamic-Mappila culture, spice trade heritage, and educational institutions. The district is home to Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala, one of the world's most famous Ayurvedic institutions. Nilambur, famous for its teak plantations (the oldest teak plantation in the world), and the Adyanpara Waterfalls offer natural beauty. The Malabar cuisine here — with its distinctive Mappila Biryani and Pathiri — is among the finest in Kerala.
