With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Kozhikode, 30 miles away, has to offer. Kozhikode Beach, Beypore Beach and Thali Shiva Temple alone make the drive out worth it. Don’t forget about Thrissur either! Just 30 miles away, Triprayar Sri Rama Temple, Vadakkumnathan Temple and Thiruvambadi Krishna Temple are essential stops here.
