5 Unforgettable Kerala Travel Experiences
Our travel experience in Kerala gave us a chance to plunge into the divine beauty of Mother Earth. Our package included 4 destinations of Kerala and all of these places had something unique to be explored. Here are the top 5 Kerala travel experiences that will remain with us forever:
1. Sightseeing
Our travel experience in Kerala began with Cochin. The first day of our trip was planned for Cochin sightseeing tour and we visited numerous popular attractions of this city including St. Francis Church, Mattancherry Palace, Jewish Synagogue and Chinese fishing nets. We were astonished by the amazing Hindu culture art in this famous Portuguese palace named Mattancherry. Another surprise was the Jewish Synagogue exhibiting the rare antiques.
Our next sightseeing tour was in Munnar that included a visit to the famous lakes, tea plantation and the thrilling Eravikulam Wildlife Sanctuary. Echo point is one destination that must not be missed in Munnar as it is located on the confluence of three mountain streams. I loved Eravikulam National Park, the place exhibits the diversity of flora and fauna and entitled as a world heritage site by UNESCO.
2. Panoramic Beauty Of Munnar
Our travel experience in Munnar was amazing. An expedition to Munnar is an experience in itself. The place is famous for its tea estates which we explored truly on our leisure day as well as during the Munnar sightseeing tour. As it is located on the confluence of three river streams, the natural view-points left us mesmerized. I felt if we could have stayed in this beautiful place for more days as it was a nice escape, away from our usual life. Munnar was one destination that revived us and will stay in our memories forever. I would suggest the future travelers that you must extend your stay in Munnar for at least 1-2 days as the place houses a lot of unique experiences that one must not miss!

My wife was super-excited for the cruise boat at Periyar Lake in Thekkady. If was an amazing experience where we witnessed unending chains of hills and scented plantations amidst the pleasant ambiance of the Western Ghats. We also witnessed wildlife esp. deer, boar, and a few rare birds inhabiting in the surrounding forests.

Periyar Lake Entry Fee: INR 40

4. Enthralling Backwater Of Alleppey
The Backwater of Alleppey was an electrifying cum romantic experience of our travel experience in Kerala where the beautiful houseboat sailed down the scenic waterways featuring swaying coconut trees, melodious chirps of birds, and an awesome breeze that revived us. This was exactly what we were expecting, a romantic escape amidst nature. We also explored a small village there along with surrounding paddy fields, local churches, and temples in Alleppey.

5. Scrumptious South Indian Cuisine
My wife and I have a special love for South Indian food and tasting this cuisine in the ‘Land of Spices’ was completely surprising for us. The food there had a rich flavor of chilies, curry leaves, turmeric, mustard seeds, tamarind and a lot more. Our Kerala travel experience would have been incomplete without this scrumptious delicacies especially Idiyappam, Erissery, Puttu & Kadala Curry, and Appam with Ishtu. We grabbed really delicious food at the restaurants in Kochi and had a great time there!
