About Kannur
Kannur, historically known as Cannanore, is a major city and municipal corporation in the northern part of Kerala. Its history is deeply entwined with the spice trade, attracting powers from across the globe, including the Arabs, Portuguese, Dutch, and British. The city's identity is famously shaped by the Arakkal family, the only Muslim royal family in Kerala, whose legacy is preserved at the Arakkal Museum. Kannur is globally renowned for its vibrant handloom industry, producing the iconic Kannur cotton towels and sarees. Culturally, it is the heartland of Theyyam, a spectacular ritualistic dance form where performers embody deities, a tradition that draws visitors from around the world. The cityscape is a mix of bustling commercial centers like Kannur Town and serene coastal stretches. Key areas include the historic Fort area around St. Angelo Fort, the commercial hub near the Town Center, and the scenic beachfront locales of Payyambalam and Muzhappilangad. Beyond its urban core, Kannur is famous for its beautiful beaches, historic forts like Thalassery, and the serene backwater experience at Dharmadam Island.
Best Time to Visit Kannur
The best time to visit Kannur is during the winter and early summer months, from October to March. This period offers pleasant, dry weather with temperatures ranging from 24°C to 33°C (75°F to 91°F), ideal for beach activities, fort explorations, and wildlife visits. This is the peak tourist season. The monsoon season, from June to September, brings heavy rainfall from the southwest monsoon, transforming the landscape into a lush green paradise but limiting outdoor activities. The post-monsoon period of October and November is also lovely. Major cultural events often align with festivals; the Theyyam season typically runs from December to April, with numerous performances in local temples (Kavus). The Vishu festival in April and Onam in August/September are vibrant times to experience local culture, though Onam falls during the monsoon. The summer months of April and May can be hot and humid, but are still manageable for travel.
