Theyyam is a sacred ritual, not a staged tourist performance. Visitors are expected to respect the traditions, devotees, performers, shrine rules, and local customs.

Performance times can sometimes be late at night or in the early morning. Some Theyyam events may continue for several hours or across multiple days.

The calendar should therefore be used as a planning guide rather than a guaranteed performance schedule.

Before confirming your tour, Excel India Tours will check the available information for the selected date and help coordinate the most suitable visit.

We can arrange private Theyyam journeys from Kannur, Kasaragod and other parts of North Kerala, with the itinerary adapted around the actual performance schedule.

Whether you want to experience one specific Theyyam, attend a major Perumkaliyattam, or combine Theyyam with the cultural highlights of North Kerala, we can create a private itinerary around your interests.

Travel beyond conventional sightseeing and encounter one of Kerala's most extraordinary living traditions.

From the powerful rhythms of the chenda to the dramatic costumes, sacred rituals, ancestral traditions, and intimate village shrines, Theyyam offers a unique window into the cultural soul of North Kerala.

Tell us your preferred travel dates, number of guests and where you will be staying in North Kerala. We will help you identify suitable Theyyam performances and create a private cultural experience around them.
