Kakkad Eco Tourism
A bit of south of Vanaparvam is the Kakkad Eco Tourism. Less known and less crowded, but great place to splash in the crystal clear water in the check-dam. Take the diversion between Thamarassery and Adivaram on the Kozhikode-Wayanad highway.
Kakkayam Dam
: The drive towards Kakkayam dam itself is exciting. The place looks as if it is in middle of nowhere. Speed boat ride in the dam is the action highlight. This place is surrounded by the Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary. You can take the road to Kakkayam from Perambra ( for those coming from Kannur side) or from Thamarassery ( if driving from Kozhikode).
