There are cities that amaze us with their urban charm. Then there are villages that mesmerise us with their bewitching natural bliss. Very rarely, you also come across cities that offer a perfect blend of both these experiences. Ernakulam is indeed one such land that gifts you the blessings of both these. All you need to do is visit Kadamakkudi, an amazing island with breathtaking beauty, located just a few minutes away from the heart of Ernakulam city.
A picturesque setting where you can unwind yourself from the madding crowds and bustles of city life, Kadamakkudi is a cluster of 14 islands including Valiya Kadamakkudy, Murikkal, Palyam Thuruth, Pizhala, Cheriya Kadamakkudy, Pulikkapuram, Moolampilly, Puthussery, Chariyam Thuruth, Chennur, Kothad, Korambadam, Kandanad and Karikkad Thuruthu.
The idyllic backwaters and splendid paddy fields offer a stunning multisensory experience.

At Kadamakkudi, you can also enjoy the finest of local cuisines, with fish and seafood being the stars of the menu. The island is also one of the rare spots in Ernakulam where you get to enjoy the sights of many different species of local and migratory birds.
