Edayilakkad Forest ( Kavvayi Backwaters Island ) - History details

Edayilakkad (Edayilakkadu) is a marshy island in the Kavvayi backwaters, Valiyaparamba Panchayath, noted for biodiversity—mangroves, Nervilia orchids and nesting white‑bellied sea eagles. Historically under Vijayanagara‑linked feudal lords and inhabited only in the early 1900s, it averages 3–4 m above sea level. Local ‘kaavu’ hosts monkeys; community conservation and Onam offerings are unique.
