This year we will be introducing a new destination in our tours-KERALA-the delightful South! Kerala has a tropical climate and is located in the south-western tip of India. Some interesting places to visit in Kerala are Kochi, Munnar, Periyar and Alleppey.
Cochin (Kochi)
Kochi is group of islands on Lake Vembanad. Kochi is also referred to as the Gateway to Kerala. Half the fun of visiting Kochi is moving around on the local ferries. A conducted cruise through the winding waterways will take you to several quaint spots. The main tourist attraction of Kochi is visiting these islands on the local ferries. Kochi is well known for one of the finest natural harbours in the world.
Munnar
Munnar
is a hill station on the Western Ghats and has lakes, reservoirs, forests and tea estates. This hill station was once the summer resort of the erstwhile British Government in South India. Sprawling tea plantations, picture-book towns, winding lanes and holiday facilities make this a popular resort town. Munnar is situated at the confluence of three mountain streams - Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala.
Periyar (Thekaddy)
Periyar, with its huge reservoir and dark tree trunks sticking out of the water, offers visitors and extremely picturesque landscape in which to view its abundant wildlife. Periyar also has a spice garden which has heaps of spices on display in its garden.
Alleppey
A charming backwater destination, Alleppey provides a picturesque realm of beautiful backwaters, thatched houseboats and swaying palm trees. Often labelled as the ‘Venice of East’ and the ‘Land of Backwaters’, Alleppey is a land of smiling sun washed by the silvery waves of emerald blue Arabian sea.
