Start from Karandakkatt junction near the new bus station. Turn east on Madhur road. After Choori and Kudla you reach Ramdas nagar and Vivek nagar. There is a small junction and town called Ulliyathadakka on the way. Don't turn right, it takes you back to town. At the next junction, ignore the descending road to the left. Choose the right turn. Within a few minutes you reach Madhur temple on the riverside.
Start from Press Club junction. Proceed to Kanhangad road, cross the Chandragiri river on the bridge and turn left after the Maruthi car showroom to Chemnad road. Go up and reach Aliya School and Chemnad High School. Walk past model school and Durga temple. You have reached Deli temple, Paravanadukkam and Kaliyadukkam. Walk past Saediya College and Apsara school and proceed to Bendichal junction and Chattanchal town on the National Highway No.17. You can get buses back to Kasaragod from Chattanchal town.
Free Sattvic food, lecture sessions, very tastefully furnished meditation halls.
If you are looking for a short riverside walk inside the city, start down the hill from Muncipal Town Hall near the Government Guest House. Take the road on the right side of the Town Hall. You will come down to Pulikkunnu Masjidh from where the road embraces the Chandragiri river like a necklace. This spot is useful for taking photographs of the Chandragiri bridge and of the fishermen's boats in the river. You can climb back to the city or proceed further another 4 km in a flat road to reach Thalangara Malik Dheenar beach near the railway station.
Beautiful views of the valley in lush green surroundings. Another added attraction is that this road is undiscovered by tourists. So you will get it all for yourself.

Ask for the farm of Keshava Bhat, where you can find a 38 metre long tunnel across a beautiful hillock.
Extremely photogenic place. This location cannot be skipped even if you are a little busy as Thalangara Wharf is the most beautiful spot in all Kasaragod. You can turn right from Thalangara Wharf and walk in front of the police station. This place is called Ibrahim Khaleel Road. The locals are beauty hardened and extremely rude. You can ignore them and move on; this level of rudeness is not present in other parts of Kerala. Read the Stay safe section below.
