With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Hassan, 40 miles away, has to offer. Hasanamba Temple, Maharaja Park and Hassan District Stadium alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Don’t forget about Kannur either! Just 50 miles away, Payyambalam Beach, Arakkal Museum and Meenkunnu Beach are must-sees here.
