Train Travel from Kannur to Kanhangad Kerala

Share This Article

Train travel in India takes you almost everywhere. It is safe to expect that you can travel between any two Indian cities or major towns by train.

I travelled between Kannur and Kanhangad in March this year. It is a relatively short trip of  66 km and takes 1 h 3 min.  Tidal creeks and waterways dominate the beautiful landscape. The mangroves are home to a wide variety of fish, birds and animals. I have selected below eleven pictures that mirror the diversity and beauty on the scenic route.
