  • A place for one who loves beauty of village and advantage of town. A place 25KM nearer to Kochi with frequent bus service. City service also operates between Kakkandu, Thoppumpady and Vaitala.A good place for making resorts and residential colony.Land costs 20,000 to 1 lakh. A market place for all essential comodities.
