The Mahe River (Mayyazhi Puzha) forms a natural border between Kerala and the Union Territory of Puducherry’s Mahe district, which is adjacent to Thalassery. The riverbanks and the nearby estuary are incredibly scenic, featuring lush greenery and tranquil waters. A well-developed Mahe Walkway offers a beautiful path along the river, providing a perfect spot for morning walks, jogging, and enjoying the peaceful landscape. The area is historically significant due to its French colonial past, which contrasts with the British history of Thalassery.
