About Mananchira Square in Kozhikode

Mananchira Square in Kozhikode is a paradise for nature lovers and for someone who is in search of a place to spend leisure time. Surrounded by greenery from all sides, Mananchira Square is very well maintained for the comfort of the visitors. There is also a Mananchira tank around which this square is surrounded. The Mananchira tank is about a square kilometer in area and is man-made pond which was built by Zamorin Mana Vikrama in the 14th century. The history of Mananchira Square dates back to 1994 when it was constructed around the Mananchira tank. The tank was used as a water supply system and it is still being used for the same. Mananchira Square’s name has been inspired by the lake which is located in the center of the city called Mananchira and the lake in turn has been named after Manadevan Sampothiri who was the ruler of Kozhikode kingdom.

Mananchira Square in Calicut is now a tourist spot as it has been greatly developed with attractions like a musical fountain, beautiful lawns, and an open theatre. The architectural style used to build the tank and the square reflects traditional techniques of construction and hence it has been greatly preserved. Earlier, various football matches were performed at the square.

With an artificial hill, greenery, and sculptures, the park offers a great aura which is perfect for recreational activities. Earlier the area acted as a courtyard for rulers of Zamorin which later got converted to a beautiful park with great amenities. Surrounding the tank are various buildings including temples, mosques, churches, public library, and various houses. Mananchira Square in Kozhikode is a great place to spend an evening full of leisure and cozy moments. The views of the artificial lake and the cool breeze moving is just perfect to make any tiring evening special. So, make sure to visit this picturesque place in the heart of Kozhikode city.

Vishwas's 5 days trip to Kozhikode

The stays booked was very good, but the driver insisted us to book jeeps through his contacts only which were very expensive and also took to places which can be skipped.

Jehangir's 7 days trip to Kozhikode

Our travel agent was good but I had a heart breaking experience as the vehicle at the airport pickup was not what was asked for so I had to arrange one myself with additional waste of time in acquiring it and paying extra for the same. After reaching the hotel I had to let the vehicle go and was without one till late next morning. Fortunately the agent arranged for the appropriate vehicle and I could save the trip. I have not be reimbursed for the extra expenses even after sharing all payment details. So in a way yes I was extremely dejected till all became well. I still am as I have not been reimbursed The place and sightseeing was wonderful

Henrita's 7 days trip to Kozhikode

We had a tour of 6 Nights to Kerala. The tour organiser Mr.Renjith from 7Cdestinations is an excellent person who arranged my Tour. All the hotel stay and cab arranged by him was excellent. The cab driver Mr Sandeep was also very polite and cooperative. We had a hastle free trip and at a very reasonable rate.

Parveen's 10 days trip to Kozhikode

We had a great trip to Kerala. The hotels had been booked properly. The hotels were nice in general. The Kochi hotel could do with some minor but very important maintenance. Gave us the feeling that it is mostly unoccupied. Alleppy UDS was really nice. UDS hotels in Trivandrum and Kovlam were also nice even though the Kovlam hotel rooms were of lower than expected category. Buying the entrance tickets for most places were a somewhat painful experience because of long queues despite paying high or fast queue prices. 4 hour Houseboat experience in Alleppy was a bit disappointing . It was probably much better than a full day houseboat experience. I believe a Shikara boat for a few hours could have been a better experience. The Travel agent did not book the Pariyar Tiger Reserve tickets for boat ride in advance as per the deal. Finally we decided to give it a miss. The agent did however offer us the refund of the cost for that. Munnar gave us a real hill station feeling. The Aranyaka resort was very nice. Our room had great views. We could have spent some more days there.

Mirza's 5 days trip to Kozhikode

It was my first visit to kerela and after research I chose to go with 7C Destination. The whole trip went smooth and the driver was very kind. He very well took care of our requirements and took us to all the points and gave us enough time to enjoy and rejuvenate at different points. My agent Ranjith kept in touch all the times right from planning my itinerary to accomodating my adhoc requests and was very prompt at replying. Me and my wife are very happy with our trip to Kerela. It was a wholesome experience in the God's own country. Allepey house boat was a much delightful experience and unique in its own way. I will remember this experience for the rest of my life. It's a must do for all visiting kerela

Mcgregornick's 4 days trip to Kozhikode

Our 4 day tour of Kerala was pretty good. The tour is very prepackaged with the driver taking you to the sites he thinks you’ll want to see (the same ones everyone else is sent to see) so it doesn’t suit individuals looking to get off the beaten track. For example, we stopped at the same waterfalls as everyone else, went to the same tea museum and national park as everyone else and were scheduled to go to the same dam as everyone else (we opted out). There is no asking you what you want to do or getting to know your preferences; you are treated as just another uneducated tourist to fleece. Our driver was courteous but initially used his phone a lot while driving (videos, talking and texting) but stopped after I asked him to. Our private Alleppey houseboat was clean and beautiful but the cruising part itself was disappointing. We were only underway for a total of 3 hours out of our 20+ hours on board, meaning we were docked for 15 hours, tied up to shore. You get dropped off at the boat, cruise for 30 minutes to a small shop downriver, get the hard sell on some prawns (2000 rupees a kilo), cruise for 30 more minutes, tie up at shore, eat lunch (very tasty), crew naps, after 1.5 hours stopped, you start to cruise onto the main body of the lake, cruise for 2 hours in what is ultimately a loop and return to the exact place you boarded the boat. You tie up and sit there until 9 am the next morning, despite our itinerary clearly saying we were to cruise from 8-9 am. The boat is cool but, again, you feel like you’re getting cheated out of the 5 hours of cruising you are promised. Also, when you see 50 other boats right next to you doing the exact same thing, it takes away from the experience. Being docked on shore for the vast majority of the trip, you wonder what’s the point of getting a houseboat? Hotels in the area are much cheaper and with a day cruise, you would get to see the same things we saw. The company rep did not often respond to my messages during the trip, instead choosing to ignore rather than help solve issues. Overall, Travel unbounded isn’t bad but they aren’t great either; you leave with a lackluster vacation experience.
