Kerala

Its a must see for all the travellers..
if u havent been here.. u hav not seen Nature..
Awesome.. experiance..

Popular attractions in the state include the beaches at Kovalam, Cherai and Varkala; the hill stations of Munnar, Nelliampathi, Ponmudi and Wayanad; and national parks and wildlife sanctuaries at Periyar and Eravikulam National Park.

Kerala is an amazing place. I went for the first time, on my third trip to India. It is unlike anywhere else in the country. Simply beautiful, serene and peaceful. Highly recommend a backwater boat trip, and the tea plantations. FOr a beach resort I’d recommend Varkala – very laid back with a fun hippie vibe.

As soon as you get here, you realize you’re in a tropical paradise. God’s Own Country

I’ve heard a lot about Kerala and its backwaters… I love beaches and water fronts so I’m dying to visit Kerala… Have also heard a lot about the Kerala Ayurveda Massage Centres, thats another thing i wanna get.. Looking forward to a nice relaxing vacation in Kerala

God’s own country BUT Devil’s own people.

Unique and remarkable. Plenty of great scenic locations to visit. Kerala is known for its rich cultural history, since its port cities were world centers of ancient trade. Sociologies are baffled by its demographic indicators – at par with those of the developed world – even though its per capita income is lower than the national average.

Go in winter…..hire a rice boat well in advance and spend couple of days in the backwaters….

I travelled through Kerala some years ago. Leaving Mysor by bus, we travelled through Teak and rubber tree forests to Calicut (then called Kozhikode), A Portuguese city then something of an industrial, timber exporting, fishing city; few concessions to tourism. From there up through rainforest to Ootacamund (Otty) a charming little outpost of British colonial times. Beautiful formal gardens, a lake and a famous horse racing track. Took the tiny narrow gauge rack and pinion train down through the Blue Hills to Cohin (now Kotchi), another industrial city with a busy harbour with the well-known Chinese fishing nets. Some good Portuguese buildings and a famous Jewish quarter. From Cochin we travelled on local narrow boat bus services through the network of waterways and canals that run down along the coast. One of the most beautiful and tranquil ways to travel to Alleppey and then on to Kottayam. From there to Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram) and Kovalam beach, where we lived in a fisherman’s hut right on the beach where he and his family worked a beach net fishing system, swimming out and then hauling back the net filled with fish. After two months we moved on to India’s “landsend” at Kanyakumari. Well worth an extended visit if you can. A very calm, friendly and extremely safe state in a sometimes overwhelming country. We had absolutely no fear or trouble in a 4 month visit.

used to drive down to Kerala from bangalore every other month. Have some amazing experiences there. Hope to see it again !!!!

One of the most amazing place, amazing tranquility, beauty and tea !!

This was my most relaxing spot in India…especially taking houseboat through Kerala’s backwaters.
