When you think about Kerala, a dozen things pop up in your mind and some among them are the timeless beauty, rich traditions, and lush greenery. But how can you experience it all at the same time? The answer is Thrissur. It stands out as a cultural and spiritual hub, boasting a treasure trove of historical and cultural landmarks. 

What makes it the most sought-after travel destination might be its contribution to Kerala’s heritage. Rich in art forms, religious festivals, and historical landmarks, it attracts tourists who seek more than just sightseeing-they come to experience the soul of Kerala. And what makes it so special is the homestays in Thrissur. 

People usually associate homestays with “just to spend the night over”. They offer much more than a comfy bed. Here at Anamala Homestays, we are dedicated to giving a complete experience of the everyday life of Kerala. Travelers can experience local cuisine, customs, and the warm hospitality of the host. For those looking to explore Thrissur and its surroundings, staying in a homestay allows you to connect deeply with the culture, people, and traditions of the region.  

Four Must-Visit Places from the Homestay in Thrissur 

Here’s a guide to some of the must-visit places in Thrissur that you can easily explore while staying at our comfortable and welcoming homestay. 

Sree Vilwadrinatha Temple: In Thiruvilwamala, a small village in Thrissur, you will find legends that date back to the beginning of Kerala. This ancient temple is perched on a hilltop and offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding valleys. Dedicated to Lord Rama, this temple is a peaceful and serene spot, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.  

Varikkasseri Mana: This is not just for the architecture and history buffs, Varikasseri Mana has its pop-culture significance. What makes it an absolute must-visit is the aesthetics of the manor, this also makes it a popular shooting location for a lot of mainstream cinema. This iconic Kerala-style manor, built over 100 years ago, is a fine example of a traditional Namboothiri home. 

Kerala Kalamandalam: Are you an art lover? If so, then Kalamandalam is definitely your stop. Known for Kerala’s classical art forms, this institution has produced some of the finest artists in Kathakali, Mohiniyattam, and Koodiyattam, among other fine art forms. You can experience live performances for one of the best artists the state has to offer, and you can learn about the evolution of Kerala’s classical art traditions. 

Shadow Puppet Show: An often-overlooked gem of Thrissur’s culture offerings is the traditional puppet show. We will guide you to one of the best puppet masters in the country. It's an art form that has been passed down through generations. 

Homestays offer an experience that hotels simply can’t replicate; they offer a deep sense of belonging to a community.
