I have been visited so many
places across the world, but no other places attracted me like Kerala. Apart
from the breath taking beauty this land holds some special things which is
really stimulating the minds. I am sure that Kerala holds everything that the
traveler looking forward. The exotic beaches, scenic attraction, serene
waterfalls, wonderful culture, marvelous arts, colorful festivals etc makes
this land as unique attraction. I don’t have enough words to describe
the sights, smell and the sounds of this incredible land. You will understand
why this green land is popularly called as Gods own country only by the
Incredible India tours Kerala.
On Monday morning I landed to Trivandrum
International Airport. This is the second time I am visiting Kerala, so I have a plan of the important tourist places which i should cover in Incredible India tours Kerala. I picked up the
bag and decided to go first to Kovalam beach,one of the main attraction of God's own Capital . Then turn to Thenmala
reserve forest . On the way I have visited many places such as Agasthyarkoodam peak, Ponmudi
hill station, Neyyar Wild life sanctuary, Mundanthurai Tiger reserve etc.

experience in my Incredible India tours Kerala .Next Morning I headed to Periyar wild life sanctuatory. Around

Bamboo drafting |
After enjoying the stay in Gavi I
visited Thekkady the spice garden of Kerala. Bamboo drafting in a thick forest is one of the unforgettable thing. Then I headed to Munnar, hill
station located in the Idukki district. On the way you can witness the cardamom
hills. Upon arrival, munnar greeted me with the morning cloud dusted the
mountain in tops. After quick breakfast headed to the Eravikulam National Park
situated about 12 Km. I couldn’t stop
taking the images of delightful view of the tea plantation and Nilgiri fields from
above the hills. A native told me about Neelakurinji, which is a plant flowered
only once in twelve years. It bloomed in munnar last time on 2006. So I decided
to visit munnar on 2018 to see that amazing sight. Then I visited Tata Tea Museum
located at Nallathanni Estate and Anamudi, the highest mountain of peninsular
India. Then turned to Parambikulam wild life santutary. On the way I had seen the
sandal forest waterfalls and muniyaras in marayur. I don’t have enough time so I removed some
places from my tour destination lists. Then I visited Athirapally water falls
in Thrissur and turned to Kochi.
Reached Willingdon Island, which is significant as the home for the Port of
Kochi, as well as the Kochi Naval Base. After visiting Kochi port I started
moving toward the Mattanchery Dutch Palace. I founded many ancient weapons,
paintings, dress of the Maharaja inside the place. Then I visited Paradesi Jewish
Synagogue which is the oldest active synagogue in India. After that I moved

fishing nets to earn their livelihoods. Then I visited the places near to Fort Kochi are Marine Drive, Portuguese Cemetery, Santa Cruz Basilica and a Jain temple.
