Begin your day with a visit to the historic Parumala Church. Built in the early 20th century, it is the burial site of Saint Gregorios and a major pilgrimage site for Christians. Explore the church and its beautiful surroundings before moving on to the next location.
Next, visit the Parumala Seminary, a theological institution of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. Take a tour of the campus and learn about the history of the institution and its contributions to the Christian community.
Head to the nearby town of Mannar for lunch at Hotel Gopika Restaurant. This family-friendly restaurant serves a variety of Indian dishes, including vegetarian options, at affordable prices.
After lunch, visit St. Mary's Orthodox Valiyapally Church, also known as Thumpamon Church. It is one of the oldest churches in Kerala and features beautiful architecture, including a bell tower and a serene garden.
Finally, end your day trip at Pozzhiyoor View Point. The view from here is breathtaking, offering panoramic views of the surrounding hills and a glimpse of the Arabian Sea in the distance.
If you have more time, consider visiting Mannar Fish Market, or Kadammanitta Padayani, a local festival held in Kadammanitta. If you have less time, consider skipping Parumala Seminary or St. Mary's Orthodox Valiyapally Church.
