Manjeshwar
Spend a half‑day in Manjeshwar for a beach walk, temple sights and cheap autorickshaw rides; add a night if you need budget lodging.
Manjeshwar is a small border town in Kerala's Malabar region. Its old quarter holds temples, mosques and a beach; the new side on the highway offers eateries and a railway station. With cheap autorickshaws and a handful of budget rooms, a half‑day covers the main sights; stay overnight only for rest or to catch a slow passenger train.
