Located about 28 kilometers from the city center, the airport is well-connected to major Indian cities like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/delhi-tours\/\">Delhi<\/a>, Mumbai, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/bangalore-tours\/\">Bangalore<\/a>, and Chennai, as well as international destinations in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Upon landing, you can hire a taxi or take a bus to reach the city, with the journey offering scenic views of Kerala&#8217;s lush landscapes.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"by-rail\"><\/span>By Rail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kozhikode boasts a significant railway station &#8211; Kozhikode Railway Station (Station Code: CLT), which is an important hub in the Southern Railway network. The city is well-linked by train to major Indian cities, including Delhi, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/mumbai-tours\/\">Mumbai<\/a>, Kolkata, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/india\/chennai-tours\/\">Chennai<\/a>, Bangalore, and Hyderabad, among others.
