Wayanad, the cool hill district 80 to 120 kilometres east, is the obvious overnight escape — coffee and pepper plantations, the Edakkal caves with their neolithic carvings, and rough hiking in the Western Ghats. Closer to home, the colonial bungalows of Thalassery on the coast 80 km north are a half-day stop, and the Ayurvedic hospital at Kottakkal 35 km south is open to outpatient consultations and pharmacy visits.
