Drinks & Nightlife

This place is magic. I usually take my guests there, because any stay with us incomplete without this. It is a toddy place in the middle of the paddy fields, surrounded by water on both sides. The trip there is scenic, the toddy drink (5% alc) is fresh, and get some fresh fish (river/lake fish- NOT SEA fish) - My favourite is Manjakoori - Mapaas with Tapioca- Porotta. They also usually have pork, beef, duck offerings too
Thollayiram Chira Toddy Parlour
