Kanjirakolly

Kanjirakolly, also written Kanjirakolli, is a hill destination in eastern Kannur district, Kerala, close to the Kerala-Karnataka border and the forested uplands of the Western Ghats. The area has emerged as a nature destination, with Sasipara, Kanmath Para and Alakapuri Waterfalls among its well-known sights. The landscape combines steep green slopes, valley views, seasonal mist and patches of forest, creating a strong contrast with Kannur's coastal attractions.

Visitors typically come for scenic road journeys, viewpoints, photography and short outdoor explorations rather than urban-style sightseeing. Waterfall flow and road conditions vary with the monsoon, while mist can reduce visibility in the hills, so local weather should shape the day's plan. Kanjirakolly works especially well for travellers building a Kannur itinerary around hills, waterfalls and rural North Malabar scenery.
