Start with a cool treat. Grab an Amul ice cream from the shop near the church. It is open from 10:00 to 19:30 on weekdays and Saturdays, so it is ready when you arrive.

Walk over to Nadamel St. Mary's Church. This 12th-century Malankara Jacobite Syriac Orthodox church is the anchor of your trip. Take your time to look at the architecture and feel the quiet atmosphere of the parish founded in the 12th century.
10:45
Head west to Ambili nagar pier. It is a short 19-minute walk from the church. This park offers a peaceful space to sit and watch the local rhythm of the area without the crowds of the main tourist zones.

End your afternoon with lunch at Thamp Restaurant. It is located just 11 minutes from the church area. The restaurant is open from 11:00 to 23:00 every day, making it a reliable spot for a hearty meal to finish your outing.
Local tip
The church is a place of worship, so dress modestly and keep your voice low. The walk to the pier is pleasant but check the route details if you are unfamiliar with the area.
