Kerala – God’s own country

DSC06345

I usually love travelling, especially travelling to "God's Own Country" Kerala. Every time I visit a place in Kerala I just get amazed by the sheer beauty of nature. Places like Wayanad, Allepey, Munnar are simply breath taking.

This time we planned to visit Allepey. I was about to realize a long nurtured dream. We usually travel in our own car. Long drive adds up to the excitement. We started off after having lunch from Bangalore. We reached Coimbatore and stayed there for a night. Next morning we started early and reached our hotel lake palace, near Allepey. A perfectly maintained resort; already felt like living in paradise.

In Allepey, our first stop gate was Marari beach. Wow, it is quite a little heaven out here. Unlike other beaches, this one was super clean, quiet and climate was just sensual. Even kids can play to their hearts content without disturbances. From here we moved on to go to Kerala’s most famous backwaters. One should come here at least once to admire its serene and unperturbed natural beauty.

We went to a lake in Thirumala ward Chungam which was in proximity to our hotel. The lake was just gigantic. Trust me, after you reach here, you forget the past and future and just live in your present and enjoy. We were so mesmerized by its beauty so much so that we decided to jump in to a boat house for that night. The stay was unprecedented and unforgettable. Just a note, hotels and resorts here also offer Allepey backwater tours at competitive prices.

The next whole day we scouted around the little town and went for shopping. The sea food here was awesome and at its authentic best. The journey might have come to an end, but it will just get better the next time when we come back again. After all as they say Kerala is truly “GOD’S OWN COUNTRY".

Since regular flights operate from both these airports, one does not find any difficulty to reach Allepey.
