Kerala: God’s Own Country

India with its share of innumerable forts, beckoning monuments, mushrooming cities and quaint villages, is an enthralling land which showcases the grandiose kaleidoscope of the sights and sounds, magnetizing enough to roll your nerves to the extreme levels of ecstasies. Carrying the similar trail of ecstasies in Southern India, Kerala is clubbed between the Arabian Sea and Western Ghats created by the continuous assault of the Sea waves. The beauty is comparable to the American islands and is bestowed with an indispensable eco system giving its passage to fresh water flowing to blend with the vastness of Arabian Sea. Going deeper into the different geographical dimensions, Kerala is the state suffused with the accents of vividness and fervor, all combining to show the real warmth of India.

Besides its cultural aesthetics and accents, Kerala would provide the aspiring travelers an immense scope to explore the backwaters and the traditional rice boats with woven mats to resemble barges. Originally these boats blend with the natural surrounding and are generally used for transporting rice. Today these boats can be easily figured out, moving gaily in the waters. Embossed with the jack fruit logs, bamboo sticks and painted with the black resin extracted from cashew kernels, these back waters boats are the unique man made marvels which can certainly be boarded at Allappuzha, Kollam. The most intoxicating experience could be a cruise on the Oberoi Motor Vessel—Vrinda Backwater cruiser, which is an exquisite cruiser plying the backwaters of Kerala. With the air conditioned cabins, elegantly dressed crew and the king sized beds overlooking the ostentatious waters would tend to skip the heart beat at first sight. The vacationers can lie back in their comfortable seats and can surely enjoy the picturesque view of landscapes with an every sip of fresh coconut water. The withering sands on the shorelines, presenting a breath taking view of the beaches, swaying palm trees and natural lagoons can more often compel the travel savvy to surrender them selves to the harmony of tranquil ambiance.

While passing through Kovalam beach to Vakala, the aspiring travelers will be left awestruck, while satiating their eyes with the admirable beauty of the high cliffs-rising majestically from the coast line. Suffused in rich mineral springs, the travelers would also witness an ordeal to various places like Kappad-the place where Vasco Da Gamma landed in the discovery of ‘new world’. An interesting sight here is the conning rock that sank into the sea, with a temple on it believed to be over 800 year old. An adventure seeker could find an immense scope to explore the infinite number of opportunities to indulge themselves in several thrilling sports like swimming, angling, snookering, scuba diving, kayaking, wind surfing and deep sea fishing solely. Apart from all, if you are feeling tired, then snake boat race during the monsoon season can contrarily, bring back your lost energies. These boats are 100 to 120 feet long, and hold around 100 rowers each. Each village in the region has its own snake boat, which is a great pride to villagers as well. Every year they get together and race the boats along the lakes and rivers between the months of July and September. Eventually, if you feel too bored with the ruckus and bustle, you can specifically trip to hill stations in Western Ghats. The varied architectural styles, roofing pattern of the houses, visits to martial arts complexes and the Ayurveda based centers would definitely be a spell binding experience for all those vacationers looking for complete rejuvenation.

But before the aspiring vacationers would head towards sublime vistas, they can most possibly plan their entire stay at some best budget or luxurious Hotels in Kerala. The Kerala Tour Package offered by various Kerala Hotels, includes every aspect of royal living. Well furnished floors, air conditioned rooms, highly creative artifacts, world class hospitality standards are some of the faculties inhabited by the Hotels in India exclusively. The honeymoon couples if seeking to celebrate their precious moments of life can surely opt for the Kerala Honeymoon Tours Package. The Kerala tour package will include a visit to various destinations like Munnar, Kovalam, Kumrakom and Kochi which are quiet synonymous to the reassuring terms of romance, passion and wellness. These are the places where the two souls would most probably explore each others lingering instincts in complete seclusion. But as the matter of choice distinctly, if the leisure travelers or honeymoon couples want to keep their tour entirely restricted to one touring destination then, Munnar Honeymoon Tours Package is the best alternative.

While during a stay at Kerala , the vacationers visit to Kerala will be incomplete without bracing the aromatic cuisines of the region. The flavors of curry, red chilies, appam, rasya, payasam and so on are more imbibing and unforgettable for the travel enthusiast looking to satisfy their gastronomical desires.
