Valapattanam

This small Kerala suburb of Kannur sits at the water's edge, with a café and restaurant scene in its compact centre and an unusual concentration of religious sites for its size — including the Kalarivathukkal Temple on one bank and the Kakkulangara Mosque on the other, a pairing that reflects the town's reputation for communal harmony. Mountains are visible from the waterfront.
