Thrissur is a culture stop on the road north: a morning of kathakali class at Kalamandalam, and Guruvayur temple if you want darshan. Pooram in April or May is the festival to plan around, and it books out early.
- A day between Kochi and Wayanad or Kozhikode
- Guruvayur has a dress code
- Tell us months ahead if Pooram is the reason for the trip
