This weekend I was in Kozhikode, to attend a marriage of my friend. Some of the travel advices I would say regarding Kozhikode are
1) Don’t go there on the 1st of any month – Cos it is a dry day.
2) Always carry some bottles of water- It was very hot, and completely dehydrating, a 100 m walk in the beach itself was tiring to hell.
3) Swim in the beach, only if you know how to swim – Even though it is not advisable to swim in the seas, in Kozhikode the beaches are shallow, and there were some areas were people were swimming. This was unlike Chennai, where the seas normally are very rough and even good swimmers, will not dare to venture into the sea.
4) Do not trust the tourist destinations given in wiki travel – Some of the places are very mundane. When you travel across these places, somebody should be there to let you know these are places of interest. (Ex. The light house on Kozhikode beach, Lions Park etc.)
5) Eat, Eat and Eat – Amazing Culinary, Seafood is the Specialty, if you like seafood, no place like kozhikode.Try some Mussels and Squids in the beach hotel, they were amazing. Also try some local chips , pazampozhi, and halwa.
6) Boating in Kadavu – Some 30 mins drive from Kozhikode are the Kadavu resorts, which are one of the most scenic locations also offering a boating service nearby. The food was also equally amazing. A must go in Kozhikode.
