Mananchira Square is a historic courtyard in the city center. Surrounded by various government offices, and the S.M. Street shopping area. Enjoy the cool breeze and watch the locals go about their day. This place is perfect for a photo-op as the Square's beauty is mesmerizing. Spend some time relaxing with friends and try local snacks from street vendors nearby. There's also a musical fountain and the Regional Science Centre for those interested in science and technology.
Kadalundi Bird Sanctuary is a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers. Go on a calm boat ride, soak up the wonderful views, and watch from a distance when birds flock around the area. The second-largest in Kerala, the area is rich in both flora and fauna. There are cormorants, sand pipers, egrets, and more. The sanctuary also houses a wide variety of animals such as monkeys, jackals, and foxes.
If you have more time, a visit to the Kozhikode Beach can be added to your itinerary. But if time is limited, then Kadalundi Bird Sanctuary remains the major point of interest. Make sure to check opening and closing times for all venues before heading out.
