You could also stay at The Hotel Canoe it’s just under 10 km from the temple. From the Parassinikadavu bus stop a local bus takes about 15 minutes to Kannur, then a short auto ride drops you near the hotel. While in Kannur, you can explore the old fort area for free and then head to Payyambalam Beach for a sunset stroll without spending anything. If you’re looking for a quieter spot, the town’s weekly market around the bus stand is a great way to soak up local life on a budget.
