ABOUT US
Kalady and Malayattoor are declared as International Pilgrim Centres but require combined efforts to promote as a destination by including it in the itinerary of travellers. Such a combined effort is required from travel agents, hoteliers, Department of Tourism, District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC), Kalady Area Development Authority (KADA), local governments of Kalady and surrounding panchayaths and other stake holders. 

It is in this background, we have taken the initiative to promote an itinerary during Kerala Travel Mart using leaflets, posters and a web portal. 
A full day itinerary includes visit to Kodanad Elephant Training Centre, a trip in a country boat ferry across River Periyar, Malayattoor Church, Kalady Sringeri Matt, Sree Krishna Temple, Kallil Temple, Iringole Kaavu and a classical dance school. There is also an opportunity to visit a Yoga centre for a session with the Yogacharyan. 
Apart from these, the visitors can also visit an authentic and traditional ayurvedic centre to get first hand information on the effectiveness and the methods of treatments. The visitors can have their breakfast or lunch from a heritage homestay (gruhasthali) project called Thani Illam, which is 150 year old house converted for cultural tourism purpose. 

We hope that the Sree Sankaracharya Univerisity of Sanskrit will follow Kerala Kalamdandalam to introduce a programme to attract visitors in line with "A Day with The Masters".
