Let the sunrise lead the way, a refreshing forest hiking for every kind of traveler.
In today’s fast-paced world, there are few things more healing than pausing to breathe fresh air, listen to birdsong, and walk slowly under a canopy of green. That’s exactly what Mayaahi Resort offers through our signature activity, a gentle forest hike in the magical landscapes of Kakkadampoyil, designed to welcome all types of travelers, from nature lovers and solo seekers to families with children above six.
This isn’t just a walk through the woods. It’s a deeply curated morning experience, designed to align your senses with the rising sun, to calm your mind, and to begin your day with quiet purpose. At the heart of this hike lies a hidden gem, a beautiful sunrise point that reveals Kakkadampoyil in all its golden glory.
Here’s a full journey into what makes this experience so loved, and why so many of our guests say, “This is the reason we’ll come back to Mayaahi again.”
The Journey Begins Before Sunrise
Our hike happens in the soft light of early morning when the forest is calm, the air is crisp, and the world feels new. We gather quietly, sipping a warm cup of tea or coffee, letting the peace of the moment settle in.
Then, together with our friendly guides, we begin the walk on a refreshing trail that winds through the forest. It’s not too hard, not too steep, just right for beginners, nature lovers, and even families with kids above six years of age.
After a gentle walk through the woods, we arrive at our favorite spot, a quiet, open viewpoint where the forest drops away to reveal the sky.
This is where the magic happens.
The sunrise over Kakkadampoyil is a moment to remember, golden light spilling over green valleys, birds gliding across the horizon, and soft clouds catching fire in the morning glow. Guests often fall silent here, simply soaking in the view, sipping their tea, and letting the forest speak.
It’s calm. It’s powerful. It’s the kind of moment that stays with you long after your holiday ends.
More Than a Walk — A Morning Well Spent
Once we’ve taken in the beauty of the sunrise, we begin our walk back, slower now, with smiles, conversations, and that lightness you feel after spending time in nature.
Our forest hiking trail is safe, well-guided, and designed for all age groups above six. It’s not about how far you walk, it’s about how deeply you experience.
What Happens After the Hike?
Back at the resort, our guests go with the flow:
- Some head straight to the nearby river for a refreshing natural bath, letting the cool water revive them.
- Others go directly to our homemade breakfast spread. with Kerala-style dishes like puttu, kadala curry, fruits, and fresh juice.
