Thiruvambady and Anakkampoyil

Thiruvampady village

If you are fed with the traffic blocks and big crowds of Calicut city, you can drive to Anakkampoyil village on the eastern side of Kozhikode district.  This area is full of greenery, rivers and forest cover.  There are many places to see and a lot more places to relax yourself before coming back to Calicut for work on Monday.  Anakkampoyil village is 55 km from Kozhikode and you have to access the village via Thiruvampady town which is 12 km from Anakkampoyil.

The road to Anakkampoyil starts from Karanthur and proceeds to Kunnamangalam, Koduvally and Omassery. There is a riverbridge at Thottathil kadavu and Thiruvambady is the next town.  After Thiruvambady, you come across Sacred Heart Church and Akashapparavakal Convent.  There is a cute riverside road at Kaliyampuzha.  Areeppara Waterfall and the near nearby rubber plantations can engage your for some time.  Anakkampoyil is the next and accommodation can be found at Vellarimala Green Villas.  There are many photogenic places in Anakkampoyil like a little green mosque and the infant jesus church.  The hill view from Muthappan Puzha river is fantastic.  This riverside village is also accessible by bus as it is the last stop for KSRTC buses.
