Kerala is the land of magic, ayurvedic massages and Kathakali. Most visitors generally begin their sojourn in this lovely state with Kochi. This city reflects the eclecticism of Kerala. Here, you can see the oldest European-built church in India, a small 16th Century synagogue that serves a proportionate community of Jews, a palace built by the Portuguese, given to the Raja of Cochin and renovated by the Dutch and some world-class performances of the Kathakali dance drama. Make sure you take a boat trip on the Malabar Coast. It will take you out to the Dutch town and fort, an area that also has some surprisingly good book shops. Alternatively, you could start with Thiruvananthapuram, which also has a laid-back charm of its own. Here, you can visit the Padmanabhaswamy temple, the Napier Museum, the Puttan Mallika Palace and the neighbouring beaches. These include Kovalam, now a pleasant spot to spend an evening. The backwaters are also famous as a holiday option. For that, you have to move on to Alleppey or Alappuzha, a district made unique by an intricate network of canals. Or you could head to Munnar, the sheer beauty in the hills. Rolling oceans of tubby green tea bushes, crisp mountain air, craggy hills, wildlife and a throwback to colonial times make Munnar a lovely getaway. Or you could visit Thekkady, which is also a charming town and has the added advantage of being close to the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. At Thekkady you can wander through plantations of cardamom, tea and coffee. Of the three options, you can surely choose a place of your dreams where you can chill out! You can take a meandering cruise down the backwaters, spend a lazy day by the sea, take a trek up the winding hills or enjoy ayurvedic health holidays. These are some of the advantages no other destination offers. Welcome to this unique land of spellbinding adventures. It’s the most refreshing holiday you could ever have. |
