About the Walk
Led by Mr. Shihad, Kannur City Heritage Researcher, the walk invites residents and visitors to rediscover Mappila Bay — once a thriving centre of ocean trade and the powerful Arakkal Royal dynasty. Participants will encounter stories of the Arakkal palace complex, Dutch and Goan influences, indigenous fishing traditions, and landmarks like Moideen Palli, CSI St. John’s Church, and the Martyrs’ Graveyard.
The walk may take a little longer based on the group's curiosity and enthusiasm.

Carrying an umbrella/cap is advisable.
Kindly carry your own waterbottle
We encourage reusable bottles
Any other physical constraints you might have, kindly let us know in advance
