Best Tourist place in Kerala
Kerala, in south India, is often referred to as "God's Own Country" for its unspoiled tropical beauty. This coastal state has a destination for everyone -- whether it's the beach, mountains, adventure, wildlife, heritage or culture you're interested in. The pace of life is slow, making it the perfect place for a leisurely vacation. Don't miss these top places to visit in Kerala.
Fort Kochi
Known as
the "Gateway to Kerala", Kochi is an enchanting city that's had an
eclectic influence. Arabs, British, Dutch, Chinese, and Portuguese have all
left their mark there. The architecture and historical sites in Fort Kochi
attract most of the visitors to the area.
Muzuris
If you're interested in history, extend your time in
Kochi to visit Muzuris, situated about an hour to the north of the city. This
multicultural district used to be the most important trading port in
Kerala, where business flourished for more than 1,000 years before it was
severely damaged by flood. It's being developed by the Kerala government as a
heritage project. Muzuris extends to Kodungallur (where the astonishing and rather
gory Kodungallur Bhagavathy temple festival takes place in late March or early April each year)
and Paravoor. It's full of old churches, synagogues, mosques and temples. India's
first mosque, Cheraman Juma Masjid, was built there in 629 AD. Cochin Magic
offers a full-day private Muzuris Heritage Tour.
Kerala Backwaters
One of the most tranquil and relaxing things you can do
in Kerala is take a trip in a houseboat along the palm-fringed Kerala canals, known as the
backwaters. Freshly cooked Indian food and chilled beer (buy your own and bring it on the
boat) make the experience even more enjoyable.
Marari Beach
If you're after an easily accessible and peaceful beach
break in Kerala, picturesque Marari is just 30 minutes north of Alleppey. This
placid fishing village has a long stretch of undeveloped beach and a diverse
range of accommodations, from plush resorts to simple homestays. Some front the
beach.
Munnar
If you like tea, a visit to Munnar is a must! The
surrounding region is renowned
for its sprawling tea plantations. See tea being
picked and processed, and try fresh tea straight from the gardens. There's even
a tea museum. The area is blessed with the natural beauty of winding lanes,
misty hills, and forests full of exotic plants and wildlife.
Kannur
One of the best
places to get off the beaten track in India, the
Kannur district of northern Kerala offers an ideal blend of secluded beaches
and culture in the form of mysterious masked spirit-possession theyyamrituals (October
until May) and hand loom weaving.
