What To Expect
Cheraman Juma Masjid Mosque
Believed to be India’s first mosque (built in 629 CE), it was founded by local ruler Cheraman Perumal after his fabled visit to Mecca. Its traditional Kerala architecture and calm ambience symbolize Kerala’s long-standing religious harmony. Highlight: The mosque’s lamp, kept burning continuously for centuries, is said to have been lit with coconut oil — shared by Hindu temples nearby
Dedicated to the goddess Bhadrakali, this ancient temple represents Kerala’s indigenous faith traditions. The Bharani Festival, known for its vibrant rituals, is among the oldest in South India.

5.00The tour of Muziris was outstanding. We had a lovely guide who took us on a time travel back to the times when ancient Muziris was the centre of the Indian Ocean. It was fantastic to see the ancient port and relive the glory days. Food was amazing and the pick and drop to hotel made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable.
Amazing day at Muziris
