Discover the lost port of Muziris on a private tour from Kochi. Visit India's first mosque, explore the Muziris Heritage Project, enjoy a traditional Kerala meal, and cruise the Periyar backwaters.
Begin your journey in Kochi and travel to the lost port of Muziris. Visit the Cheraman Juma Masjid, believed to be India’s first mosque, built in 629 CE. Admire its traditional Kerala architecture and calm ambiance, symbolizing Kerala’s long-standing religious harmony. See the mosque’s lamp, kept burning continuously for centuries, said to have been lit with coconut oil shared by nearby Hindu temples.

Continue to the Kodungallur Bhagavathy Temple, dedicated to the goddess Bhadrakali. Learn about the temple’s significance in Kerala’s indigenous faith traditions and the vibrant rituals of the Bharani Festival, one of the oldest in South India.

Next, explore the Muziris Heritage Museum Cluster, part of India’s largest archaeological and heritage conservation project. Visit the Paliyam Palace and Nalukettu, the former residence of the Paliath Achans, hereditary prime ministers of the Kochi royal family. Discover the multicultural past of Muziris at the Paliyam Chapel Museum and enjoy lovely views of the Periyar River from the Kottappuram Fort Ruins, built by the Portuguese in the 16th century.

Savor a homely Kerala Sadya meal, a vegetarian feast served on a banana leaf, at a local restaurant. Then, visit the Chendamangalam Synagogue, one of India’s oldest synagogues, reflecting the life of Kerala’s Jewish community. See small-scale handloom units where artisans still weave cotton on wooden looms.

End your tour with a heritage boat cruise through the Periyar backwaters, a peaceful way to see rural Kerala life and glimpse the waterways that once carried ships laden with pepper, pearls, and silk.
