Kochi to Koyilandy by Train or Bus

Kozhikode railway station (CLT) has train connections to Kochi. KSRTC and many private buses also run between Kozhikode and Kochi, by day and by night.[1]

From Kozhikode, a local bus or a taxi takes you north along the coast to Koyilandy. Tell the driver the name of your hotel or the beach you are heading to.

Why Go to Koyilandy

This is the Kerala of fishing boats pulled up on the sand, tea shops at the corner and long, quiet beaches. Come for slow mornings by the sea and for the food of the Malabar coast: fish curry, banana fritters and spiced biryani.

Plan the day so that you reach the coast in time for the evening light. The sea is at its best when the fishing boats come in and the beach fills with families out for a walk.

Pack light for the coast: a hat, sunscreen and sandals are enough. Leave an hour spare for a glass of sweet chai at a roadside stall near the bus stand, and ask the owner which beach is quietest that day.
