About this activity

Discover the Kerala that lies between the bustle of Kochi and the high-range plantations. This journey takes you through Mulanthuruthy, Piravom, Areekal and Ramapuram, revealing a prosperous countryside shaped by rubber, spices, coconut and other cash crops.

Travel through peaceful villages, green plantations and small towns where agriculture and overseas employment have contributed to the region’s distinctive prosperity. Along the way, you will see beautiful homes, churches and local communities that reflect the aspirations, traditions and changing lifestyle of Kerala’s people.

From the historic surroundings of Mulanthuruthy to the natural beauty of Areekal and the plantation landscapes around Piravom and Ramapuram, this is an opportunity to experience everyday Kerala away from the usual tourist routes.

A fascinating journey for travellers who want to understand how Kerala’s countryside lives, works and prospers—and to see a side of the state that many visitors never encounter.
