About Thrissur (Trichur) Tourism

Thrissur literally translates as Thiru-Shiva-Perur or the city dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is the cultural and spiritual centre of Kerala, offering an array of festivals, historical and natural sights as well as religious experiences. Located at sea level in the eastern part of Kerala, it is bound on the south by Eranakulam and Idukki, Palakkad in the East, Mallapuram in the North and to its West, a short 54 kms away, lies the Arabian Sea. The district, fed by the Periyar, Chalakudy, Karuvannur and the Ponnani rivers which all flow from the Western Ghats to meet the Arabian Sea, is interspersed by waterfalls, dense forests and isolated beaches.

Sightseeing:

Thrissur offers a wide choice of natural, cultural and religious places to explore. Among the natural locations stands the 80 ft high Athirapilly Waterfalls, 63 kms from Thrissur in the Sholayar ranges. Just 3 kms further, near the dense forests along the Chalakudy river is the Vazhachal Falls. You could also visit the largest elephant park in the world at Punnathurkotta Elephant Sanctuary with its elephant race and feast for elephants.
