Kodungallur

Spend a day exploring the historic mosque, temples and Kottappuram Fort; add a night only if you want a relaxed evening after sunset at Muziris Lakeshore Park.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Kodungallur, once the ancient port of Muziris, packs centuries of religious and trade history into a compact coastal town. Its key sights – the 7th‑century Cheraman Juma Masjid, early Christian church, several historic temples and a Portuguese fort – are close together. One day covers the highlights; an extra night lets you enjoy the sunset at Muziris Lakeshore Park.

Rules in force · 6
  • South Asia ↗Trekking regions, border districts and several Indian states need separate permits on top of the visa; check the permit before you book transport into them.
  • South Asia ↗Remove shoes (and in many Jain and Hindu temples, leather) before entering; cover shoulders and legs; ask before photographing people or rituals.
  • India ↗Apply for the e-visa only on the official government portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in); lookalike sites charge extra. Check the current rules, fees and how far ahead to apply.
  • India ↗Do not follow anyone who says your hotel is closed, the station ticket office is closed or a road is shut; use the prepaid taxi counter, the metro or an app car.
  • India ↗Carry Indian rupees in small notes (10, 20, 50, 100); change for 500 is often refused.
  • India ↗Parts of the Northeast, Sikkim, Ladakh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and all border belts need a Protected or Restricted Area Permit or an Inner Line Permit for foreigners; check before you book the route.
