 Thalasseri (Tellycherry)
recommended recommended graphic
 state: Kerala location: 22 km south of Kannur city
 info date: Feb 2002 size: town
 season: Nov - Feb transport: bus, train
 hotels: several good for: all travellers

fort in Thalasseri, KeralaThalasseri is one of Kerala's many major towns lining the Malabar Coast. Its major attraction is its Fort, next to the coast, pleasant to stroll around in; some wacky echoes can be produced in one of the old concrete bunkers. Right next to it is an old overgrown Christian cemetery with old grave stones - great for people who like this kind of thing. The beach is not somewhere you'd like to sun bathe or swim in the sea. It's packed with ram shackle huts, fishing boats, "public toilet stuff", a bit further along an "authentic" non-upmarket fish market.

 guest house
/ hotel:
Paris Presidency is not exactly good value for money, 450 Rs for a clean but very small room with attached bathroom and a tiny joke for a balcony looking onto the busy Logan Road; next door is the cheaper Paris Lodging house.
 restaurant
/ dhaba:
normal Indian restaurants, as usual the Indian Coffee House is a good bet for good coffee, snacks, nice scrambled eggs and dosas. There is a restaurant serving good food in a nice setting (you sit in small individual "huts") about 1 to 2 km north of Thalasserie on the main road (can't remember the name). Thalasserie, as almost everywhere in this part of Kerala does amazing grape juice, usually at street stalls and costing next to nothing.

local interest:

Thalasseri Fort, old cemetry, watching fishermen at work on the beach front
transport: train, bus or your own
