Om
Hurtige fakta: Placeret på en klippeskrænt med udsigt over Det Arabiske Hav, har dette fyrtårn guidet skibe gennem de farefulde farvande ud for Kerala's kyst siden begyndelsen af 1900-tallet. Dets karakteristiske røde og hvide bånd gør det øjeblikkeligt genkendeligt for søfolk, der nærmer sig havnen i Kannur fra mange kilometers afstand.
Højdepunkter: I modsætning til de fleste fyrtårne, som man kun kan se fra neden, lader dette dig klatre hele vejen til toppen for en 360-graders panoramaudsigt, hvor Lakshadweephavet møder kokoskantede kyster. På klare dage kan du se den fjerne kontur af Mappila Bay-fiskerflåden, der sejler ud til morgenfangsten, deres træskrog dupper mod horisonten.
Insidertips
- Wear closed-toe shoes for climbing the narrow spiral staircase, as the metal steps can get slippery.
- Visit on a weekday morning to have the lighthouse almost entirely to yourself.
- Position yourself on the east-facing side of the top deck for the best photos of the red-and-white tower against the blue sky.
- Skip the small souvenir shop at the entrance and instead walk 5 minutes to the local market for better prices.
