Day 1

This trip is the offbeat places in Kerala. So I prefer to land in Calicut or Kannur airport.Both these places have railway stations too. If you land in Calicut, you can enjoy the beach the food especially the non- veg food and go to Beypore beach. Alcohol availability can be a problem so plan accordingly. You can even take your vehicle through a narrow path and the sunset will be amazing. You can also enjoy the main beach at Night as there are many places to eat fish like in Goa.You can also visit Kappad beach if you have sufficient time.

Day 2

From Calicut you can travel to Wayanad in the morning. So it will be a good ride through ghat section and those curvy roads and the view from Lakkidi view point is awesome. So I'm Wayanad there are many places to visit. So if you like to explore more can travel to Tirunelly temple. It will be a great experience through the forest and the landscapes. The roads to this place is awesome and the whole Kerala vibes with the greenary will be great. You can visit places that's already famous like the Pookode lake or Banasura Sagar dam in the evening and then stay in a good resort.

Day 3

The next day you are traveling to Kannur. If you are interested to trek then go to Paithalmala. There is also a place called Palakkayam thattu were you can have a good experience of the landscapes and the green mountains. Then you can have some fun going to Ezharakundu waterfalls. Have lunch and head towards Palakkad. I am suggesting this route because you can actually drive through a beach some distance and enjoy the sunset at Muzhappilangad Drive in beach. Reach Palakkad and stay there.

Day 4

The next day starts by going to Nelliyampathy. It is also a hill top, the best part is the journey to this place and you will be very happy to go there. In the evening you can visit Malampuzha Dam, do some boating and just enjoy the ropeway.

Day 5

Start your journey to Kochi. On the way you can visit Athirappally waterfalls, Vazhachal etc. Athirappally waterfalls is famous as you can see that in Bahubali movie. Then evening go to Fort Kochi enjoy the beach, there are some good cafes and resorts to stay. Some churches are too good. Visit Cocoa tree to have some craving desserts.Here you can expect some good fish food. Do some shopping and the next day with the whole good memories you can fly back.

You can extend your trip to Munnar. I had done a trip on that too, you can check it if you are interested.
