Kozhikode Town & the Ghat View Points

Some days are better spent covering ground — down to the coast for the morning, then back up through the ghat as the light turns gold. Here's how the day lays out from Naz's Farm House, starting before the sun's even fully up.

Start on the terrace

Sunrise from the swing

Before any of it, there's the terrace swing at the back of the property — coffee in hand, watching the sky go from grey to that pink-orange wash over the hills before the sun actually clears the ridge. No reason to rush this part.

Down to Kozhikode

36.5 km · ~55 min

Once you're ready, it's about 55 minutes down to Kozhikode town — the beach and promenade for a walk, and no shortage of places to eat along the way if you want to make a late breakfast or early lunch of it.

Back up through the ghat

~55 km from Kozhikode · 1 hr 50 min

Heading back in the afternoon, break the drive at Lakkidi View Point — the lookout near the top of the ghat where all 9 hairpin bends of the Thamarassery Churam lay out below you. It's known locally as the "Gateway to Wayanad," at its best as the afternoon light turns warm — and from here, the farmhouse itself is only another 21.4 km away.

Evening back at the farmhouse

A quieter night

You're back at the farmhouse with the day's driving behind you — a quieter evening than the night before, with nowhere left to be.
