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.

Vandiperiyar near Gavi |
Next morning I visited Kollam (Quilon), had a boat ride in Ashtamudi lake and visited the Thangassery Light House. Then I headed to Alappey(Alapuza). There an awesome thing is awaited me is kettuvallam. I have
Rented a kettuvallam for a day. Drifting through quiet canals lined with
coconut palms, tasting the seafood prepared in a kerala style and sleeping on
the water by seeing the galaxy of stars could be one of your most expensive
experience in my Incredible India tours Kerala .Next Morning I headed to Periyar wild life sanctuatory. Around
200 km journey I reached Periyar wild life sanctuatory. There is an amazing land
located right in the middle of the sanctuary called Gavi in Pathanamthitta. The
g
rasslands,
waterfalls, hills and valleys make that land as a paradise of nature. You
have plenty of options to do there such as Trekking, Wildlife watching,
Birding, boating, stay at top tree huts, Safaris through jungle roads etc.

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
towards the Kochi Fort. From the beach I saw Chinese fishing nets; fishermen use these
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.

Thamarassery Churam |
After that I
headed to Kappad beach in kozikode district. On the way to beach you will come
across Beypore that is the oldest port of Kerala. Kappad beach is famous
because Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama landed in beach and the voyage
established the sea route from Europe to India.Then I headed to wayanad.On the way i came across the Thamarassery pass, the gateway to Wayanad. This nine hairpin bends in this 14 km long pass connects Kozhikode and wayanad districts.According
to archaeological evidence, Vayanad forests have been inhabited for more than
three thousand years. There I visited Begur Wild life Sanctuary, Brahmagiri
hills,Chembra Peak, Kuruva Dweep, Meenmutty Waterfalls,Muthanga Wildlife

I turned to Mahe the small French Town, located in Pondichery Union Territory.
The Tourist places around the Mahe are Payyambalam Beach, Dharmadam
Island,Pazhassi Dam etc. Then I turned to Ezimala in Kannur district which is one
of the most important places in the recorded history of North Kerala. The
places I visted in Ezimala are Kavvayi Backwaters, Kanjarkolly Waterfalls,
Pythalmallai, St Angelo Fort and Arakkal Museum. After that I headed to Bekal Fort in Kasaragod. The Fort has an important role in North Kerala history. Some
important features of Bekal fort are the water-tank with its flight of steps,
the tunnel opening towards the south, the magazine for keeping ammunition and
the broad steps leading to the observation tower etc. I reached the finishing point of my Incredible India Tours Kerala. Turn back to my place by cherishing the moments i spent in this beautiful land.
