In order to learn more about the history of the specific theyyam, we will also be engaging with the performers and some locals. After the experience, we will head back to your hotel in Kannur. Since the performers travel between temples to execute theyyam rituals, the location of this activity will vary depending on the dates, but we will always begin our experience in Kannur.

- Benjamin T0 contributionsA splendid tour to remember for life ✨If you’re looking for a tour guide who really loves what he does and can tell you about all the details you come across during your visit, I can really recommend booking a tour with Lidin. We took a 2 days Kannur exploration tour and it was fabulous!! It was a splendid experience and I would recommend this to anyone. Lidin was not only showing you around, he was pointing out the big and small things that can make a difference in culture, nature and cuisine. He really knows his way around.Written 11 March 2023

Mr. Lidin's theyyam tour was an unforgettable trip. We went to Niliyar Bagavati Temple and saw the magnificent theyyam performance live. Lidin guided us through the process, and we had a brief interaction with the performers before to the event. This adds a lot of enthusiasm and energy to witness the performance. This is more than just a tour; it's a wonderful experience!

I took Mr. Lidin's tour in January and it was a life changing experience. I visited in November and loved it so much I decided to come back for a Theyyam immersive experience. Spent several days with Lidin going to different rituals. The rituals themselves were incredible, but it's Lidin that makes the experience so memorable. He's extremely attentive, accommodating, and knowledgable. He knows so much about this which is very impressive because there is so much to learn about this spectacular ritual. If you're in Kerala, or India for that matter, you have to come for this experience. There truly is nothing like it.
