Kerala – God’s Own Country of Lush Hills, Backwaters & Timeless Tranquility
Kerala, often referred to as “God’s Own Country,” is a living canvas of green hills, serene backwaters, golden beaches, and soulful traditions. This southwestern coastal state is not just a destination but an experience where nature, culture, and spirituality come together in poetic harmony. With its gentle pace and nurturing ambiance, Kerala is a retreat for the senses and the soul. The journey begins in Cochin (Kochi), a city that wears its colonial past and coastal charm with grace. Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences echo through Fort Kochi’s narrow lanes, Chinese fishing nets, and centuries-old churches. Cochin is also a cultural hub, where art, tradition, and modernity merge seamlessly making it the perfect gateway into Kerala. From Cochin, the road winds into the mist-covered hills of Munnar, a tranquil hill station blanketed in endless tea gardens, waterfalls, and cool mountain air. It’s a destination where silence speaks louder than words, and every sunrise paints the hills in hues of gold. Munnar is both a romantic getaway and a sanctuary for peace seekers. Further into the Western Ghats lies Thekkady, home to the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. Here, dense forests meet tranquil lakes, and you may find elephants, bison, or deer sipping at the water’s edge. Thekkady also offers a rich spice heritage—with cardamom, pepper, and cloves scenting the air. A boat ride on Periyar Lake or a spice plantation walk here is as rejuvenating as it is memorable. Heading back to the coast, you enter the calm and picturesque world of Alleppey (Alappuzha), Kerala’s famed backwater region. Glide through palm-fringed canals on a traditional houseboat, watching life unfold slowly along the banks. It’s an experience of deep stillness and connection with nature. Complete your journey at Kovalam, Kerala’s beloved beach town. With its golden sands, gentle waves, and Ayurvedic retreats, Kovalam is a place to unwind, heal, and reflect.
