ITINERARY

DAY1: COCHIN - GURUVAYOOR (93 KMS/2 HRS) After breakfast proceed to Guruvayoor which is 93 km from Cochin and 27 Km from Thrissur- the cultural capital of Kerala. Thrissur is synonymous with the world famous and spectacular Pooram festival. Guruvayoor is a small temple town famous for the Lord Guruvayurappan temple, which serves as the centre of its social, cultural and political structure. Known as Bhooloka Vaikuntha earlier, the temple is said to be about 5000 years old. The narrow coastline of Guruvayoor is replete with beaches and stretches of backwaters lined with the swaying coconut palms on one side and evergreen forests of the Western Ghats with very rich wildlife on the other side makes it a paradise on earth. The Guruvayoor Temple is famous for its elaborate preparations for the main prayer of Lord Guruvayurappan. The temple is renowned for its healing powers. Several offerings are made to the deity here from the simple 'archana' offering of flowers to the expensive and elaborate 'Udayastamana' pooja or 'Thulabharam' where a devotee is weighed against offering of bananas, sugar, jaggery or coconuts. On arrival, check in the hotel and then visit the elephant camp or aani kootil as it is called in Malayalam. Located about 3 km from the main temple this is the place where more than 70 elephants belonging to lord Guruvayurappan are housed. A visit here is bound to be very interesting for children and adults alike and you can also feed the elephants with the permission of the Guruvayur Devosam Board. The evening is set aside for the Darshan of lord Guruvayurappan (Only hindus allowed inside the temple). Depending on the crowd, it may take up to three hours for Darshan. Every day at night around 2130 hrs one can see the ceremonial procession of the lord called the Seeveli. The Seeveli is the highlight of this temple and should not be missed as this is a uniquely spiritual experience. The Seeveli at night is particularly resplendent because three elephants take part in the procession.The Darshan of lord Guruvayurappan during this Seeveli is considered very auspicious. Overnight at hotel.

DAY2/3: GURUVAYOOR - WAYANAD. (205 KM/ 4 HR) After breakfast, leave for Wayanad. Wayanad is around 200 km from guruvayur and the road passes through some heavily congested towns.

Wayanad is a beautiful hilly region in the Western Ghats that is located in the southern region of the Deccan plateau. It has lush green dense forests, deep valleys, lofty ridges, beautiful lakes.
