With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Vayittiri, 40 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Lakkidi View Point, Koottamundu Glass Temple and Karlad Lake. Kozhikode is another terrific option. It’s 40 miles away and offers tons of awesome things to see and do. Kozhikode Beach, Beypore Beach and Thali Shiva Temple are just the start.
