Meet your driver cum guide at the resort post breakfast. Our first stop today is the Ananthapura Lake Temple located 25 Kms north of Kasargode town. The Temple stands in the middle of a 2 acre wide lake with Lord Vishnu as the main deity and considered as the original seat of Ananthapathmanabha Swami- the deity of Pathmanabha Swami Temple of Thiruvananthapuram (approx 575 Kms to the South). In the lake lives a crocodile known by the name Babia and is claimed to be a vegetarian as it has never been reported to harm anyone even though devotees take bath in the pond. It’s believed to be reborn after death as no one has seen more than one crocodile in the pond till date. We drive towards Kannur after the temple visit, to embark on a river cruise with lunch on a houseboat at the Thejaswini River.

Later, visit to a local Beedi manufacturing unit. Beedi is a thin cigarette or mini cigar filled with tobacco leaves wrapped in ebony leaf and tied with a string believed to be originated in India way back in 17th century.
