Thrissur Tourism

Thrissur

A religious town in the state of Kerala, Thrissur is very well known during the festival season for its many religious sites, temples, spiritual centers, and colorful celebrations. It can be said that the town is also built around the famous Vadakkumnathan temple located on the hill, built around a small hill that spreads over about 65 acres called Thekkinkadu Maidan. This small town is considered to be Kerala's cultural capital, which is very evident in nearly all of these fascinating and amazing places to visit in Thrissur. There is also a range of beaches, hills, forests, and waterfalls, in addition to the religious side of the town.

Punnathur Kotta : The Temple of Guruvayoor is one of the best tourist places in Thrissur. Punnathur Kotta, an elephant sanctuary, was originally a palace belonging to a tribal ruler. It was then transformed into an elephant house and now has the largest number of elephants in captivity, around 59 of them. This is where these beasts are trained in many festivals to participate. Besides this, there is also a training center for Elephant Riders (Mahouts) in the Punnathur Kotta and temples dedicated to Lord Shiva and Bhagavati.


Shakthan Thampuran Palace : The Shakthan Thampuran Palace, a sight to behold, is very Dutch-style architecture. The Shakthan Thampuran Palace was reconstructed in the place of Vadakkekara Palace by the then King Ramavarma Thampuram of Cochin in the year 1795, finding its name in almost every list of Thrissur tourist places. The palace was turned into a museum in 2005, which now exhibits a variety of relics and very old antiques. The two-story building has high roofs, a favorite of many art admirers.

Things to do in Thrissur

Vilangan Kunnu : Vilangan Kunnu, the oxygen jar of the city of Thrissur, is a hillock near the city. Simply surreal, the 5-acre hilltop experience is only improved by the creation of an amusement park, where the children can enjoy a variety of rides with the spectacular view below.


Athirappilly waterfalls : One of the best places to visit in Thrissur is the waterfalls of Athirappilly. These falls, standing 80 feet high and about 330 ft tall, are the largest in the state of Kerala. The glory of this place can be understood by the fact that the falls are situated on the Chalakudy River, which originates outside of the Himalayas from the highest mountain in India. These falls are often referred to as the Niagra of India, a great place for a group outing.

Chavakkad Beach : Chavakkad Beach is one of the most popular tourist places in Thrissur, the most interesting and unexplored beaches in the state of Kerala. Perfect for picnics, honeymooners, and visitors of all kinds, the beach's golden sand is what draws people from all corners of the country. There is a river that meets the sea where the beach is, forming an estuary. The color of the water is one of the best reasons for people to flock here.


Thrissur Zoo and State Museum : One of the most vibrant and beautiful tourist places in Thrissur is in the center of the district. The Thrissur Zoo, also known as the State Museum & Zoo, is situated about 2 km from the city center and the zoo is more than just a place to display the region's beautiful flora and fauna. There is also a museum of natural history and an art museum that has exhibitions that capture Thrissur's social and cultural heritage.


Chettuva Backwater : You have to brace yourself to see some of the most beautiful beauties of the waters around you, Thrissur. And the Chettuva Backwaters are one of the best places to see the grandeur of that. The backwater runs through from Enamakkal Lake before ending in an estuary at the point where it enters the Arabian Sea. The mangroves here are one of the most important characters recognized the world over in this area. In addition, there are several islands, a fort, and numerous sightings of migratory birds, making this place one of the best places to visit in Thrissur.

Best places to visit in Thrissur

Charpa Falls : The falls are situated between two major tourist spots in the area, Athirappilly Falls and Vazhachal Falls, on the Chalakudy River in the Athirappilly region of Kerala. Not only that the falls are also a midway stop for a variety of travelers who visit the falls above. The fall of water on the rocks is such that the water looks like the flow of milk, contributing more to this place's charm. The waterfall is best visited in the months when the water spills immediately after the monsoon season.


Vazhachal Falls : Vazhachal Waterfall is located in the Athirappilly area of Thrissur, just 5 km from the famous Athirappilly waterfalls. The water's milky color is what really draws tourists from all over to come and see the beauty of the falls on the Chalakudy River flowing west. There are many water parks and natural gardens nearby because of the beauty and nature of this place, which together makes monsoons the best time to visit this place.


Cheppara : Sheppard is possibly the least recognized of the tourist spots in Thrissur. The word 'Para' means hill, and that's exactly what this place is. Tourists say that the views from the top of the hill are magnetic and captivating, spread over an area of about 1 km, and since it is less popular, at any given time, one can expect the least amount of crowd. However, the highlight of this place is the breathtaking view of the sunset.
