Malappuram Destination

Malappuram (literally, a land atop hills) is situated 50 km southeast of Kozhikode.
Bounded by the Nilgiri hills on the east, the Arabian sea on the west and
Thrissur and Palakkad districts on the south, Malappuram is enriched by
three great rivers flowing through it - the Chaliyar, the Kadalundi and
the Bharathapuzha.
Malappuram has a rich and eventful history. It was the military headquarters
of the Zamorins of Kozhikode since ancient times. This district was the
venue for many of the Mappila revolts (uprisings against the British East
India Company in Kerala) between 1792 and 1921. The hill country has also
contributed much to the cultural heritage of Kerala. It was a famous centre
for Hindu-Vedic learning and Islamic philosophy.
