Kerala Holidays: (Allepy , Munnar, Kovalam, National Parks like Eravikulam and Periyar, Vagamon, Wayanad, Bekal, Kumarkom)

Kerala is popularly known as “God’s Own Country” for a reason. It is a little paradise away from the hustle-bustle of the modern life, this picturesque destination is located right between Western Ghats mountains and the Arabian Sea. The whole of Kerala is laden with magical backwaters, wildlife, rich art and culture, spice and tea plantations, lush greenery, tantalizing cuisine and rich art. 

Here are top reasons why Kerala should be on your bucket list:

1. The Magical Backwaters

When at backwaters, the first thought that would pop in your mind is ‘blissful’! A ride in pretty and quaint houseboats is what we recommend so as to experience the backwaters fully! With fully grown coconut trees both the sides, you can go kayaking and also indulge into lip-smacking scrumptious local food cooked by the talented in-house chefs! 

The best places to experience backwater by taking a cruise are Kollam, Alleppey, Kuttanad, Kumarakom and Kasaragod. 

2. National Parks to enjoy Wildlife

Kerala boasts of more than 25 National Parks and wildlife sanctuaries. When in Kerala, you cannot miss spotting migratory birds, wild animals and reveling in raw nature. 

Some of the popular National Parks and wildlife sanctuaries that should have a place in your itinerary are Periyar Tiger Reserve, Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary, Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, Parambikulam Tiger Reserve and Mathikettan Shola National Park.

The spectacular Periyar National Park is nearly 1000 square kilometers of jungle which also has a lot of trekking paths and lakes. It is one of the best places in India to spot the Bengal tigers. 

3. Experience Coffee and Tea Plantations:

Kerala is known for its coffee, tea and spice plantations. One cannot miss the visits to picturesque plantations and the tastings that they offer. Sample the freshly brewed coffee and different flavoured teas by soaking in the natural beauty all around. 

While the plantations are spread all around the state, the best ones are at Thekkady, Wayanad and Munnar.

4. Stroll at serene Beaches:

The coastline at Kerala boasts of pristine and serene beaches that offer mesmerizing views. Whether you want to laze around, take a romantic stroll, enjoy the water-sports or just sit without a worry in the world, these beaches are just perfect for the same!
