Best Travel Experiences in Kerala

1. Nature’s Beauty

Nature’s beauty is something that really attracts people and can mesmerise them, and talking about Kerala’s natural beauty is on a different level.

Now you get to know why we called Kerala “God’s Own Country,” which never stops surprising its tourists. Kerala’s natural beauty is unmatched, and the reason I say this is because of its tea-covered hills of Munnar, the peaceful network of backwaters, and the amazing waterfalls among lush greenery. You can explore the small town of Munnar, which is hidden away in the Western Ghats, as you set out on your journey.

If you want to visit something that is a damn breathtaking place in Kerala, then don’t miss the tea region,because it offers magnificent views of never-ending tea gardens, verdant hill slopes, and breathtaking waterfalls. You can enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the serene canals by taking a houseboat trip through the famous backwaters. You will be attracted by the peaceful, quiet mood that the green palm-lined backwaters produce.

Last but not least, the state is full of waterfalls, and trust me on this one: each of the waterfalls is gorgeous in its own way. The waterfalls, which fall down over rocks and are surrounded by deep trees, make it a more spectacular sight. That’s why Kerala is the ideal vacation spot for all nature lovers because it offers something for everyone in terms of adventure, peace, and beauty.

2. Rich Cultural Heritage

Traditions that have been passed down through the years are an important component of Kerala’s rich heritage of culture. The state is well known for its artistic traditions, including Kathakali, a dance play that mixes acting, dancing, and music. Audience members are mesmerized by this visual symphony. Aside from Kathakali, the folklore and music scenes in Kerala are vibrant with the voices of skilled storytellers, and one may easily get lost in the legends of the past. 

Additionally, the state is home to stunning temples and monuments that mix a variety of American architectural styles. With hidden treasures worth millions of dollars inside its walls, the Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram is one of the richest temples in all of India.

Kerala is a historian’s heaven and offers plenty of opportunities for research for anyone seeking a cultural awakening.

3. Culinary Delights

Vishu, which ushers in a new year, is another important festival. Firecrackers and lamp lights are used to celebrate. Kerala hosts numerous additional traditions that have been celebrated for many years in addition to these two holidays. Every holiday, whether it be a religious festival or a cultural event, has a special appeal that should not be missed. The way the locals observe their customs is what makes Kerala so beautiful.
