Taliparamba

India

Banyan tree near the Krishna temple, Trichambaram Taliparamba or Thaliparamba is a town in Kannur District, in the Malabar region of Kerala, India.

Taliparamba is an important trading station of spices and hill produce. The undulating hills that surround this little town make it exceptionally beautiful. The surrounding villages of Pattuvam, Kuttikkol and Karimbam are filled with lush green fields and little rolling hills. The rivers of Kuppam and Valapattanam surround the towns from all sides and the Arabian sea is only 14km to the western side. Taliparamba is not known as a tourist destination even though it is a very scenic place. So you can expect a lot of attention without any touristy prices.

  • Muttayappam. Some people consider eating the Muttayappam an experience in itself. Muttayappam is a kind of rice preparation in oil without adding any 'mutta' or egg into it. Only the shape resembles a huge fried egg. It goes well with chicken curry. It is not available in standard restaurants and you have to ask in roadside stalls. They have a tendency to disappear in minutes. It is difficult to get this snack elsewhere in Kerala.This unique Taliparamba food with a very plain taste can become quite addictive. Remember: you were warned !
