Kuttiady River Walk
Start your walk near the main bridge crossing the Kuttiady River. Follow the dirt paths that run parallel to the water, passing through small clusters of coconut palms and spice farms. This route is ideal for those who enjoy slow, contemplative walks. Along the way, you will likely encounter locals working in their fields. A simple nod or greeting is a common way to acknowledge the community. The path eventually leads to more elevated terrain, offering a beautiful view of the river winding through the valley.
