Velliyamkallu
https://s.id/1SGZo
Velliyamkallu is a two acre rocky island in the Arabian Sea, about 36 km from Kozhikode City of Kerala State in Southern India. The massive rocks of the island was much dreaded by navigators and has witnessed many battles between Zamorin’s (the ruler of the medieval Kingdom of Kozhikode ) fleet and the Portuguese.
This huge rock was used by the great Kunhjali Marakkar, naval commander of Zamorin. Velliyamkallu was the vantage point of Marakkars and helped to sabotage the Portuguese ships during encounters. In 1598, a Portuguese ship was attacked and its entire crew was killed here by the Marakkars. Finally, once the Portuguese conquered the area, the island was used by them to throw the local troublemakers from Velliyamkallu into the sea. The rock was hence also known as Sacrificial Rock or Balikkallu locally.
Velliyamkallu has some unique natural carvings on the rocks to explore. Many of the rocks are also marked with cannon ball hits as the area has witnessed a period during which battles were fought between the local ruler and the European powers.
The best time to visit the island will be from October to May after the monsoon when the sea is comparatively calmer. Exploring the island during low tides is much preferred, in any case the captain of the boat you hired will know the best times to visit during the day.
Distance from coast ~ 13 kms
Location of the rock - 08º18¬12º42N 074º53¬077º07E
