Oloppara Lake Kozhikode | Kerala's Quarry Lake and Backwater in One Landscape

Oloppara, near Kozhikode, presents an unusual combination of a deep quarry lake enclosed by sheer rock faces and a calm backwater running alongside it, separated by a narrow strip of land lined with coconut palms. The quarry lake, formed over time within excavated granite walls, holds still dark water in sharp contrast to the broader river where houseboats and jetties mark a more actively used waterway. The two water bodies occupying the same stretch of landscape give Oloppara a character that is distinct from other lake or backwater destinations in Kerala. #Oloppara #Kozhikode #Kerala #QuarryLake #Backwaters #KeralaBackwaters #HiddenKerala #ScenicKerala You can subscribe to our channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmiF2GcrQwFeiTdnKJ_023A Visit https://www.keralatourism.org/ for the latest updates on Kerala
