Kuppam River
Kuppam got its name from the Kuppam River, one of the 44 Rivers of Kerala, which originates from the hilly area of western Karnataka and flows into the Arabian Sea.
Once, waterways in the Kuppam River was the only mode of travel into the hilly areas of Kannur district. But after the construction of Kuppam Bridge, passenger boats almost disappeared.

The bridge is attractive for its construction style.New Bridge at Kuttiyeri kadavu ,connecting kuttiyeri and Pariyaram Villages was opened in 2015.
