7 Days - 6 Nights (Cochin - Thrissur - Kozhikhode - Vythiri - Kozhikhode)
Situated in the heart of Kerala, Thrissur is a popular tourist place for its religious vibe. The name comes from “Tiru-Shiva-Peru,” which means "the big town of Lord Shiva." It’s a calm place, surrounded by green fields, and has this calm feel that just helps you unwind. The city has a lot of history too– it’s been ruled by different dynasties, and you can still see their influence around. People call it the cultural capital of Kerala because there’s always something artistic or cultural happening. If you are planning a trip to Thrissur, book a tour package from Pilgrim Packages India and make your trip memorable.
