This beautiful village is situated in Ernakulam district. The history of Kadamakkudy begins with the massive flood that happened in the year, 1341. The water from the Periyar river used to flow into the sea through the Kodungallur azhi (lagoon). But after the flood, the mud accumulated at the azhi resulting in the blockade of water flowing into the sea. As a result, the water that was flowing down the hills changed its Course and moved towards ‘kochazhi’ in the southern part of Vypinkkara and joined the sea here thus making it a larger lagoon which later became the Cochin sea port. Tiny islands were formed in the canals formed in the Periyar river which were collectively called Kadamakkudy. The Kadamakkudy panchayath consists of Valiya Kadamakudy, Murikkal, Palyam Thuruth, Pizhala, Cheriya Kadamakudy, Pulikkapuram, Moolampilly, Puthussery, Chariyam Thuruth, Chennur, Kothad, Korambadam, Kandanad and Karikkad Thuruthu. The main occupation of the locals here is fishing and agriculture. The main crops are coconut and paddy. Only 15.84% of the village is land. The remaining part consists of pokkali fields and unassessed river waters. To reach here travel from Ernakulam via Edapally to Vallarapadam. From there take the Container route to Varapuzha. Just ask the locals the way to Kadamakkudy and they will direct you. A lot of tourists visit the place every year.
