Mahé, Port town in Kannur district, India.
The town sits at the meeting point of the Mahe River and Arabian Sea, surrounded by green hills and coconut plantations.
French traders established a fort in 1724, marking the beginning of colonial influence that shaped the town's development as a significant spice trading port.
Malayalam remains the primary language, while the architecture combines Indian and French colonial elements throughout the town streets.
Regular bus services connect Mahe to major cities, with Kannur International Airport located 35 kilometers from the town center.
The town maintains separate administrative status as part of Puducherry Union Territory while being physically surrounded by Kerala state.
