A Five-Day Itinerary for Kaipamangalam Beach in Thrissur
In this five-day itinerary, you can explore Thrissur and the nearby areas while taking part in the retreat activities for a wholesome travel experience.
Day 1: A Sunset Walk Along the Coastline
Unlike most beaches in Kerala, Kaipamangalam beach has not been flocked by an overwhelming crowd of tourists, leaving room for experiencing a deeper connection with the Arabian Sea. Your sunset-strolls on the unspoiled white sand will surely catch painted sunsets hovering over the ocean.
Day 2: Backwater Boating
Kerala’s backwaters need no introduction, with an intricate channel of waterways mixing freshwater river water with saline water of the Arabian Sea. Take a serene boat ride by the swaying coconut trees, especially around Kodungallur, for a refreshing day.
You can stay one night on a traditional houseboat in the Kerala backwaters, which includes a private room, all meals, and a guided cruise through the canals. The houseboat is typically docked by evening, allowing for an overnight stay with basic amenities and a quiet atmosphere.
Day 3: Visit Kodungallur Bhagavathy Temple
One of the oldest temples in Kerala, Kodungallur Bhagavathy Temple is widely revered by the locals for its Kerala-style wood carvings, with a copper-plated pyramid-shaped roof and mural paintings staging Hindu mythological depictions.
And if you plan your trip in March-April, you may as well take part in the Kodungallur Bharani festival, where Velichappadus (oracles; meaning “Revealer of Light” in Malayalam language) perform traditional dances and rituals, and devotees throw rice powder and offerings while singing folk songs. The exact date changes each year according to the lunar calendar, so be sure to check the date before planning your trip.
Day 4: Fishing with Traditional Chinese Fishing Nets
As an iconic symbol of Kerala’s fishing traditions, these fishing nets were brought to Kerala by Chinese traders around the 14th century. A coastal walk along the fishing villages around Kaipamangalam beach would easily allow you to witness local fishermen engaged in the fish-catching.
You can consider visiting Chavakkad, Punnappra, Nellissery, Perinjanam and Kottappuram – the local fishing villages in that area.
Day 5: A Deeper Dive within Yourself
Undoubtedly, the purpose of taking the time off at a wellness destination is to de-stress, relieve anxiety and rejuvenate physically and mentally. Therefore, take the day to deepen your connection with nature and your inner self. You will find everything you can expect from the yoga and wellness retreats at Kaipamangalam Beach.
