Explore the backwaters of Kozhikode

If you are fond of the idea of immersing yourself in the midst of natural beauty, then there is no other best way to do that other than exploring the backwaters of Kozhikode. Book a houseboat, and get ready to cruise through the mesmerizing landscapes dotted with astonishing palm trees. You can also choose to stay in a luxurious floating villa, and grab a chance to soothe your spirits with utmost tranquility. Popular, especially amongst newlyweds, these houseboats offer you a perfect getaway option in the midst of natural beauty and picturesque environs.

Enjoy a day at Kozhikode Beach

Famed for its picturesque sunset views, Kozhikode Beach is one of the most favourite places to visit amongst tourists. And, if you are a seafood lover, then there are a plethora of food stalls lined up along the promenade, where you can treat your taste buds to some really sumptuous delicacies, such as kallumakkaya (mussels). As dawn approaches, wake up to take a stroll along the famous Dolphin’s Point, and grab a blissful opportunity to cherish some fun-filled time with playful dolphins. What’s more? The place also retains two crumbling piers and an old lighthouse that add a dose of the old-world charm to the natural beauty of this place.

Laze along Kappad Beach

Also known as Kappadavu, Kappad Beach- decked with inland palm groves is a serene coast located along a secluded village that has not yet been discovered by many explorers. Book a stay as per your budget and interest, and grab an opportunity to enjoy the ultimate sojourn on the beautiful coast of Kerala. With a rocky headland, this beach offers a spectacular view of the surrounding coast while you take a stroll along it, making the view one of the best things to see in Kozhikode.

Cherish a sojourn at Beypore Beach

Nestled on the western coastline of India is a mesmerizing beach, called Beypore Beach. Blessed with astonishing skies, huge coconut trees, and a long stretch of golden sand, this beach located at River Chaliyar is a worldwide famous destination. If you are seeking tranquility amidst scenic views, then opting for a sojourn at Beypore Beach, Kozhikode can be one of the best things to do on your excursion to the coastal city. Here, either you choose to take a stroll along it as dusk falls, enjoy jogging in the morning, partake in your favourite water sport, or gorge on a scrumptious Kerala lunch, this place never fails to entice you.

Delve into the cascades of Thusharagiri

Fringed with snow-capped mountains, the cascading waters of Thusharagiri snuggled in the Western Ghats offer you a chance to witness a unique kinship between water and the land.

Hardik's 7 days trip to Kozhikode

Dear Trip Triangle, Greetings for the day! I have planned all my past trips on my own. This time due to other priorities I chose Trip triangle based on a friend's reference to get a proper and hustle free itinerary, best negotiated hotel prices, language friendly driver and a lot of memories throughout the trip. I would like to give my experience and feedback: Hotels were suggested by us, there was no price negotiation done from 7C's Destination. I was getting the same hotel tariff as the agents. The agent does not suggest the hotels as per our suggestion and our needs, they lack a list of hotels. The itinerary is so vaguely mentioned and the driver is unaware about all the sightseeing places we want to visit daily. Driver appointed to us acted sweet , humble but was cunning , always confused and always trying to fool us. Day 1: He did not take us to sight seeing as we reached late. 2 waterfalls mentioned on the itenary were not visited, the reason being no water, dark etc. Accepted all the reasons given by him. Day 2: He would not take us for sightseeing, instead take us to spice garden Ayur valley and force us to buy from there as we will not get good quality spices anywhere else. He dropped us at the hotel and when we asked about the sightseeing, he couldn't take us as the itinerary was not shared with him.I had to call the 7C's Destination agent Mr. Renjit to talk to him. Eravikulam National park was closed he should have mentioned earlier after reaching Munnar Mr. Renjit is saying you cannot visit due to breeding time. Day 3: We could not visit Periyar national park as it was fully booked 1 day prior. We spoke with other guests who had done online booking. On top of that Mr. Renjit is blaming us for not reaching prior 1 pm. To summarise the trip: Delhi Trip agent was not ethical, suggested we cancel the trip request at the trip triangle and they would give additional Rs 10,000 discount. 7 C's Destination were talking about ethics but lack to fulfill comments mentioned in the itinerary. Driver was taking commission at every place we visited Spicy shopping, Ayurvedic centers, Kerala chips and even for bookings which we did by ourselves. We received constant complaint calls from the surfing and kayaking schools stating the driver asked for commission. On declining the commission the driver posted negative feedback on the internet. Driver would not stay in our hotel or nearby hotels. He would be late by 20mins to 30 mins in the morning to pick us from the hotel due to which we missed all the major sightseeings in Munnar and Varkala. Other tour guests were getting the discount at Jatayu Earth center while we did not get any discount. We have spent Rs 1,06,340 but it was not worth it. It could have been much better. Thanks and regards, Hardik Panchal.

It was a great Experience to explore Kerala.Our tour was most enjoyable.All hotels were very good beyond our imagination.Cab driver was well behaved and very punctual.He was our tour guide also.We enjoyed a lot in all sightseeing places. But our tour could be customised upto Kanyakumari within this period of program.During journey from Alleppey to Kovalam both jatayu earth centre and Padmanav Swami temple could be covered.We could not customise it.The last date we felt bored in Trivandrum after darshan of Padmanav Swami temple. Anyhow the journey was memorable and we are very grateful to the travel unbounded for a good tour program .

Chanakya's 4 days trip to Kozhikode

I opted for 5 star rated stay. While the hotel stay was great, the boat house was pathetic. It does not even qualify for 3 star rating. Food served was below average.

Chiragjain's 5 days trip to Kozhikode

We had our first trip planned with Aapka Tripwala. The trip was meticulously planned by Prachita from their team and taken care by Chirag for the ground support. The cab and booked hotel were all in place as promised. They also helped with early check-in at our Udaipur hotel. It was a great experience booking with them. Looking forward to book another trip with them again in future.
