Kadamakkudy is a serene cluster of 14 islands located just 15 km from Kochi, with Varapuzha being the nearest town on National Highway 66. The islands, including Valiya Kadamakudy, Murikka, and Palyam Thuruth, offer a tranquil retreat with Kerala's famed backwaters, paddy fields, and rustic village scenes. Visitors can enjoy boating, kayaking, birdwatching, and photography, as well as experience local activities like prawn farming, toddy tapping, and coir-making. The region is also famous for pokkali farming, a unique saline-tolerant rice variety that received a Geographical Indication (GI) tag in 2008.
