This is my hometown, Shasthamkadavu. A small village in the outskirts of Thrissur, it is a nature lover's paradise. Acres of paddy fields dancing to the eternal soft breeze, with clusters of coconut palms whispering elegantly against the luminous blue backdrop of the morning skies, the place will definitely take your breath away. Doing total justice to the natural setting is the kind of people you'll find here ; innocent and friendly. In monsoons, the landscape changes its skin completely, being immersed in the heavy rains that flood the fields, giving a totally different perspective to the eye. I strongly recommend this place if you visit Thrissur.

Day trip destinations from Thrissur

Bus rides are definitely under-rated for being a fantastic, inexpensive, sometimes bone-jarring, and frequently scenic way to see some of the countryside of India. This photo was near the end of a rather long ride from Chennai with only a couple stops, but sometimes scenery was worth the sometimes bumpy ride.

Kodungallur

The Athirapally or ‘Bahubali’ waterfalls as it is popularly known after a scene for that film was shot at the site in its full glory thanks to heavy rains in the area. More at: https://wp.me/p7CVI8-20z #trovember #outdoors
