Experience the refreshing and relaxing atmosphere that surrounds Malayattoor, where mountain, river and plain come together to create a soul-soothing canvas. The name Malayattoor is said to have originated from the words “mala” meaning mountain, “arr” meaning river and “oor” meaning place. It is just a couple of hours drive away from Kochi and makes for a pristine weekend getaway. Visit the Malayattoor Church here, a prime pilgrimage destination believed to have been established by St Thomas the Apostle himself. It is located on Kurisumudi — “the hill of the holy cross”. Stories and legends abound regarding St Thomas’s experiences at Kurisumudi many moons ago.
