Start your day with a breathtaking sunrise as you journey from Cochin to the peaceful village of Malarikkal — one of Kerala’s hidden gems known for its untouched beauty and tranquil backwaters. This guided early morning tour is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking a calm and scenic escape from the city.
Your tour begins in the pre-dawn hours as you are picked up from Cochin and driven through the quiet roads of Kerala, watching the landscape slowly awaken. Arrive at Malarikkal just before sunrise, where the air is cool and the sky begins to glow with hues of orange and gold. The sunrise viewpoint offers a panoramic view of lush paddy fields, coconut groves, and shimmering water channels, all bathed in the gentle morning light.
As the sun rises, the entire area transforms into a photographer’s paradise — with mist rolling over the fields and birds flying across the open sky. This serene setting is ideal for meditation, photography, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. You’ll also get a chance to walk through the village, interact with locals, and learn about their traditional lifestyle.
Optional add-ons include a light traditional breakfast, a canoe ride through the narrow backwater canals, and stops at nearby attractions like the blooming water lily fields (seasonal) or spice gardens.
This Malarikkal Sunrise Tour from Cochin is a must-do for those who want to see a different side of Kerala — one that’s quiet, authentic, and overwhelmingly beautiful. It’s more than a tour; it’s an experience that refreshes the soul.
