Malappuram
Nilambur and the teak
The district least arranged for visitors, and it shows most in the food. This is Malabar cooking: pathiri in place of appam, biryani worth the argument, and wedding feasts that run to courses nobody outside Malabar has heard of.
- When to go
- November to March.
- How long to stay
- A day, on the way north.
- Getting there
- Kozhikode airport is in the district, about forty minutes from Nilambur.
