The Story of Rice

Creating Connections: Immersive Cultural Journeys with The Blue Yonder

This community-based initiative aims to preserve a unique saline-tolerant rice strain, combating its extinction threat in a stunning backwater setting. The pokkali and organic farm visits offer travellers an immersive experience; to learn about the crop's qualities, cultivation, and the collaborative efforts of stakeholders to sustain it, interact with farmers, and gain insights into sustainable prawn culture. 

Conserve while you immerse

Pokkali and Organic Farm Visits are designed to bring the story of Pokkali to travellers! Its unique qualities, cultivation, its deep-rooted connection with the community and their struggle to sustain it presents a wonderful case in how various stakeholders from society collaborated to preserve the delicate cycle of nature.

The day excursion highlight involves interaction with farmers and community leaders who sustain the tradition against many constraints. This trip also gives an insight into sustainable prawn culture and involves activities like organic farm visit, lunch with locals, and a short country boat cruise along the island. There is a possibility to explore the waters by kayak.
