Discover the soulful flavours of Kerala with our Half-Day Traditional Food Trail in Thiruvananthapuram, a curated culinary journey designed for food lovers and culture explorers. This morning tour blends authentic dishes, heritage markets and temple street snacks to give you a delicious taste of Kerala’s living traditions.

Your tour begins with a pickup at 8:00 AM, followed by a short introduction to Kerala’s food culture, where coconut, spices, rice and Ayurveda-inspired cooking come together to create rich and aromatic flavours. The trail starts with a traditional Kerala breakfast featuring classics like Appam & Stew, Puttu & Kadala Curry, Idiyappam with Coconut Milk, and Pazhampori—all served fresh at a local favourite restaurant. Your guide explains the ingredients, steaming techniques, and the cultural stories behind each dish.

Next, stroll through the historic Chalai Bazaar, one of Kerala’s oldest spice markets. Here you witness heaps of cardamom, pepper, clove, cinnamon and freshly fried banana chips. Sample local sweets like Unniyappam and learn how Kerala became the spice capital of India. The market walk is full of colours, aromas and interactions with friendly local vendors.

After the market, head to the streets surrounding Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, known for their heritage snacks and traditional flavours. Taste authentic items like Sarkara Upperi, fresh tender coconut, temple-style payasam (subject to availability), and small sweet packets wrapped in banana leaf. This area brings alive Kerala’s temple food culture and age-old culinary techniques.

Your food journey concludes with a mini Kerala Sadya sampling, served on a banana leaf. Relish dishes like Avial, Thoran, Kootu Curry, Sambar, Rasam, and a sweet Payasam—a perfect finale to your half-day food adventure.
