If you’re looking for day-trip inspiration, we know just the place. Sitting 40 miles away, Kozhikode is worth getting in the car for. Kozhikode Beach, Beypore Beach and Thali Shiva Temple alone justify the drive out here. Ooty is another wonderful option. It’s 40 miles away and has an array of fascinating things to do. Ooty Lake, Government Botanical Gardens and Ooty Rose Garden are just the start.
