Honeymoon
in Kerala - When you're in "God's own country", you
breathe pure air, cruise through languid backwaters, tread cautiously
into dense tropical forests and frolic on the golden beaches.
Crisscrossed by forty four rivers, and never far from the sea,
Kerala
is just simply beautiful. While
Kerala's fabulous scenery lulls
tourists into forced relaxation, its very dedicated ayurvedic health
centres soothe and rejuvenate. On the other hand, the varied topography
allows white water rafting, trekking, camping, mountain biking,
paragliding, backwater cruises and jungle safaris.
Kerala's wealth of natural attractions includes Kumarakom, a
little heaven with mangroves, coconut groves, lush paddy fields and
waterways and canals. You can take a boat to
Lake Vembanad and
indulge in fishing, swimming and bird watching. The splendid palm lined
beaches stretch from Kovalam to Chowara and Varkala and are dotted with
heritage attractions and Ayurvedic resorts.
Munnar at 1800 m is
picture perfect, with unending stretches of rolling tea plantations and
spice gardens promising solitude and tranquility. Munnar's lavishly
endowed countryside offers great trekking opportunities.
Thekkady's
Periyar forest has a fascinating wild life sanctuary with excellent
accommodation facilities.
You can't leave
Kerala without a cruise down the backwaters
between Kollan and Kochi - take a long boat through the 75 km maze of
waterways, lakes, canals and rivers. Or, if you wish to be a part of the
surroundings, spend a few days on the eco-friendly and biodegradable
houseboats and engage in canoeing, angling or just enjoy the scenic
views.
