Valiyaparamba Village
Calm, unperturbed by the the progress of the civilized world, life here moves at its own pace. Residents are mostly the fishermen community settled since ages, new inhabitants who have worked in the Navy, and excise.
A few homestays that line up on the strip of land. Incidentally, V Retreat is the only one that's closest to the river and the sea. With a private access to the neverending stretch of the beach. In fact, you can catch a glimpse of both landscapes sitting at the retreat itself, from the newly constructed gazebo or the dining area.
An island that never ceases to amaze with its idyllic spots and pristine nature.
As you take a walk or go along the backwaters, you will find things to wonder about.
Go around the backwater coast or island hopping in a ferry that can give you a great time to enjoy the view and settle down.

The Perumkaliyattam at Pilikode (12th to 17th Jan 2018)
North Kerala is renowned for Theyyam – an ancient performing dance that’s colourful, enthralling and visually captivating. The art form celebrates and worships heroes and ancestral spirits. Theyyam is also known as Kaliyattan, mainly in Kolathunaddu. Theyyam incorporates dance, mime, music and enshrines the rudiments of ancient tribal cultures which attached great importance to the worship of heroes and the spirits of ancestors.
Perumkaliyattam(Grand Theyyam Festival) season arrives in Malabar. This ritual is not only an art form to the people of Malabar but a culture in itself. The festival which proclaims the religious harmony is believed to bring prosperous and good luck to the people. Every village in North Kerala was bound to perform Theyyamin connection with the local shrine (Kavu). It is performed before the shrine. This sacred dance is beloved to bring about the well-being of the family and society.
