Cochin to Ramassery for breakfast (idly) and Attappadi visit

Kerala tour packages are not only about famous destinations—they’re also about discovering unique local experiences. This one-day journey from Cochin to Ramassery for breakfast and an exploration of Attappadi is a perfect example of an offbeat Kerala travel experience ideal for families.

Cochin to Ramassery – A Delicious Start to Your Kerala Tour Package

It was a Saturday, and we decided on a spontaneous family trip with kids. Our inspiration was the legendary Ramassery Idly, often called the King of Idlis, available only in Ramassery village near Palakkad.

We started from Aluva at 8 AM and reached Ramassery by 10:30 AM after a comfortable 2.5-hour drive—making it an easy addition to customizable Kerala tour packages.

Ramassery Idly Experience

The small, traditional eatery welcomed us with warmth and local hospitality. The idlis were soft, fluffy, and served with:

• Sambar
• Coconut chutney
• Chutney powder
• A special homemade chutney (the highlight!)

💰 Price: ₹8 per idly (including curries)

The idly preparation continues till noon, with bulk orders being a daily routine. Though the recipe remains a secret, the love and effort behind every plate are evident.
