Kadalundi Bird Sanctuary: (25 km from Kozhikode and 7 km from Beypore Port) The
Sanctuary is spread over a cluster of islands in a scenic area surrounded by
hillocks where the Kadalundi River flows into the Arabian Sea. A hillock
which is 200 meters above sea level provides a splendid view of the river
mouth and the sea. The estuary at Kadalundi is a heaven for migratory birds.
Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary: (16 km from Kottayam) An ornithologist’s paradise,
Kumarakom bird sanctuary on the banks of the Vembanad Lake is a favourite
haunt of migratory birds. A cruise through the Vembanadu Lake is the best
way to experience the sanctuary.
