With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Kozhikode, 16 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Kozhikode Beach, Beypore Beach and Thali Shiva Temple. Located 25 miles away, Vayittiri is another place to aim for. If you stop by, make sure you check out Lakkidi View Point, Koottamundu Glass Temple and Karlad Lake.
