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.

The row of angels on the pillars of the Rathal, which has intricate carvings on them, is something unseen elsewhere. The depiction of Adam and Eve before eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge is one of the best creations in sculpture. The scene of the Last Supper, where Judas is sitting with a purse full of silver coins, St. Peter is holding aloft the key to heaven, Christ is raising the chalice while looking harshly at Judas, and John is lying on the lap of Jesus while leaning his left hand on to His body, is considered to be a blend of facts and symbolism, more than an appeal to emotions.
