Kalaripayattu
Kalaripayattu (sometimes shortened as Kalari) is an Indian martial art and fighting system that originated in Kerala. There is also a mention about Tulunadan Kalari in the Northern ballads of chekavar in Malabar. In Kerala, the warriors belonged to all castes. It is considered by some to be the oldest martial art still in existence, with its origin dating back to at least the 6th century BCE. Because of this, Kalaripayattu has been called The Mother Of All Martial Arts.
At the age of 73, lady warrior Sri Meenakshi Amma gurukkal was awarded Padma Sri by Government of India for her contributions to Kalaripayattu.

It was an amazing stay on top of the hill in the middle of greenery and fresh air to breathe. And what more can you ask when you get fresh homemade food to eat. It's a kid friendly location so kids got to enjoy most with the nature around and explore their own world of adventures.

Good place to stay out of the hustle bustle noise...we had relaxing time here with family. . Room are very large and spacious, cool breeze in this hot summer. Host tries to make it more comfortable for all .. we arrived late in the night around 11:30 by bus and host was constantly in touch with us, restaurants nearby were closed due to local festival but host got us breakfast. I would recommend this place for a breakaway and relaxation..
Great atmosphere , good place which was completely booked. I enjoyed all the activities. I loved my room since it was comfortable and large. The food there was fantastic and very tasty. The staff was very helpful and attentive. They guided me to the Valiyaparamba Backwaters.
