Feroke is a small town near Kozhikode in Malabar region, Kerala, India.

Understand

Feroke is an extremely beautiful place but the locals have overdeveloped the whole area with functional buildings and criss crossing roads. You have the sea, rivers and other water bodies wherever you look, but you must have the ability to ignore the traffic blocks and mindless commercialization.

Get in

Feroke has a major railway station. Buses are available from Kozhikode, 13 km. There is an airport at Kondotty 19 km.

Get around

• Autorikshaws charge ₹15.00 per km
• Buses charge only ₹7.00 for three km.
• Walking is impossible as numerous noisy motorcycles pester you even in village roads.
