VELLIYAMKALLU



Velliyamkallu is a massive rock in the sea abot 14km from payyoli sea shore. We can see the beutiful sun set and sea birds here.
An adventurous spot, this massive rock was used by the great Kunhjali Marakkar, the naval commander of the Zamorins who fought valiantly against the Portuguese. This rock served as a vantage point for the Marikkars and helped to sabotage the Portuguese ships during the encounters. Velliyamkallu has some unique 30 mtrs of natural engravings to explore. Visitors can hire a boat from Payyoli to reach Velliyamkallu
