If you want to go to Kozhikode, go through Wayanad. The tortuous road that starts from a few miles off Kalpetta will take you down the Western Ghat so quickly that you won't even have time to feel dizzy. We started on a whim for this beach town and in no time the gigantic wall of western ghat was looking at us from above.

The drive of 70 miles was covered in a flash and we entered Kozhikode by 1. It was time for Lunch. We settled in a restaurant near the beach and ordered the famous Kerala Paratha and Shahi Paneer. The food was delicious and heavy.

It was now time to take a stroll on the expansive shore. The beach was thriving with Sunday crowd. The sea was noisy and pleasing to senses but a major disappointment was the way beach was maintained. Wastes were floating in the sea and the shoreline was dirty.

Still we spent a good couple of hours eating ice-cream and drinking coconut water. It was not before 5 that we realized that we should start back as the road would be treacherously uphill this time of the evening. We reached Wayanad back to our hotel room later at 8 and settled for a room delivered food.
