Planning Toolkit

Winter (December to February

Winter lasts three months in Thrissur, and the city has a moderate or chilly environment during that time. The environment, too, is clear and conducive to visitor activities in and around the city.

Summer (March to May)

With the arrival of summer, the temperature begins to rise, and the air becomes increasingly dry and humid. If you're looking for the finest time to visit Thrissur, skip the summers or skip participating in most outdoor activities while there.

Monsoon (June to September)

Monsoon should be regarded as the finest time to explore Thrissur after the winters! Monsoon season in Thrissur begins in early June and lasts until the end of September. During this time, the temperature is good and the atmosphere is invigorating in every way.

Thrissur has a thriving gold industry

In South India, Thrissur is one of the most important production centres for plain gold and rolled gold jewellery. In Thrissur, up to 70% of Kerala's jewellery is created. As a result, Thrissur is known as South India's gold capital.

Thrissur is known as India's "Elephant Capital"

You will not depart Thrissur without spotting at least one elephant as you reach the border. Elephants, like festivals, play an important role in the lives of the people of Thrissur.

Thrissur men have a knack for impressing women

Yes, it is correct. It's the truth that's never spoken about in public. The reason guys in Thrissur are adept at dazzling girls is due to two factors: first, their ability to make jokes, and second, their carefree lifestyle and money-making mindset.

About Thrissur Pooram

Raja Rama Varma was the one who started this seven-day event. It starts when the Malayalam month of 'Medam' witnesses the star sign 'pooram.' The Paramekkavu Devi temple and the Thiruvambadi Sri Krishna temple vie with one another in rendering reverence to Lord Shiva in the Vadakunnathan temple, according to tradition. As a result, they form their grand fifteen-elephant teams and compete against each other.

Bus

Thrissur has a well-developed bus network that connects the city to and from adjacent towns as well as within the municipal limits. The Shaktan Thampuran Private Bus Stand, Priyadarshini Bus Stand, and the Thrissur KSRTC Bus Station are the three major bus stations. The last, on the other hand, only runs KSRTC buses.

Cab

Thrissur has a large number of taxi and cab companies that provide services for both vehicles and auto rickshaws. Auto Rickshaws, which may be hired on the spot, are the best and simplest mode of transportation from point to point.

Rentals

Car rentals, both chauffer-driven and self-driven, are also easily obtainable. For more information or options such as automatic or manual, it is best to contact rental providers. Within the city, bike and bicycle services are also accessible.

Language

Malayalam is the primary language spoken in Thrissur.
