Great Elephant March

Join the Festivities during  January in Trichur, where magnificently caparisoned tuskers throng the streets. Special seats let visitors enjoy the sight. And special cermonies like the ceremonial elephant feeding, let visitors get very close, physically and mentally to the gracious pachyderms.

The much awaited elephant safari starts off in the afternoon, leading the visitors through glowing green countryside. The safari ends at Vilangankunnu with a village fair and folk art display.
The second day is reserved for sightseeing and shopping in Cochin. A special sunset cruise rounds off the day.
Visitors can laze on the Alleppey backwaters on the third day. The visitor can try a short ride in the Snakeboats in the company of traditional rowers.
The afternoon explodes into excitement with the snake - boat race. Boat races are very much a part of the festivities in Kerala. The  Nehru Trophy boat - race on the 2nd Saturday of August every year, is an eagerly awaited event.
It is recreated for you in the picturesque backwaters here.
The fourth morning find the visitors on the fabled Kovalam beach. It is the best beach in India. Enjoy the luxury of its sun and surf through short rides on elephants. Or prefer to simply lie on its golden sands. Arrive at the festival venue in Trivandrum for the grand finale.

Watch the re-enactment of 'Trichur Pooram', Kerala's famous temple festival as 51 caparisoned elephants march away to the ethnic strains of 'Panchavadyam'
The entire show builds up to a befitting climax with a scintillating display of Kalaripayattu, Kerala's traditional martial art, specially choreographed show featuring Kerala's dances and art forms, a seaside barbecue and fireworks display.
Ticket holders are eligible for seats in special tourist enclosures at each venue for various programmes.
