Feroke
Spend a day in Feroke to see its temples, river walk and nearby beach; stay one night if you want a relaxed pace.
Feroke is a small town near Kozhikode in Kerala. Its main attractions – Ayyappa Temple, Arimbra Hills, river walk and Chaliyam beach – are within 5–10 km, so a half‑day visit covers the sights; an overnight lets you explore the rooftop farm and local markets at a leisurely pace.
