The lesser explored Valiyaparamba is best known for its untouched island and the backwater that separates it from the mainland. This quaintest beauty is even more beautified with the serene atmosphere that is formed by the swaying tall coconut trees, fishing activities, pampering breeze, husking, watching the coconut lagoons, and witnessing the roaming birds. The island, which is the third-largest backwater in Kerala, offers a mesmerizing environment when the sun starts to rise up. The rejuvenating sight of the beams of sunlight hitting the island is unforgettable.
Tucked away in the Hosdurg taluk of Kasaragod district, the locals rely majorly upon fishing and related activities for a living, which makes this location apt for ecotourism. The visitors can get glimpses of fishing activities using the nets and more while relaxing in a houseboat or kettuvallam in the unspoiled backwaters.
