Munnar Thekkady Alleppey Holiday Packages

What is special about Munnar Thekkady Alleppey tour packages

Kerala, also known as God's own Country, is a tropical paradise of waving palm trees and white sandy beaches. Situated on the slopes of the Western Ghats, Kerala is made up of rolling hills of lush green forests, rivers that form mesmerizing backwaters and drain in the Arabian Sea.
Kerala is also the most literate state in India and is a land of diverse religions. Its cultural and religious diversity leaves imprints everywhere in the day to day life as it is conducted in God's own country. During the Munnar Thekkady Alleppey packages, we shall explore some of the most interesting destinations in Kerala. The first destination, Munnar, is a quaint hill station that has attracted tourists, locals as well as foreigners, solely due to its mesmerizing nature that has been the talk around town right since the time of the British, who had made this little hill station a summer resort for the Madras Headquarters. Though the town itself is amazingly Indian with the usual shops and its people, the remains of the British era can be found along winding roads and narrow alleys. Thekkady is another similarly beautiful location on our Munnar Thekkady Alleppey Tour packages where nature has done a wonderful job of displaying its abundance. Home to the Periyar National Park, Thekkady has its own fair share of winding roads that cut through tranquil countrysides, rich tea and spice plantations and untouched jungles. Next stop is Alleppey, often referred to as the Venice of the East, this charming little town is the hub of Kerala's backwaters. Swarming with a network of canals and more than a thousand houseboats, tranquility takes on a very tangible quality here. With a small chaotic city center where the bus stand marks all the bustle, and the Alappuzha beach beautified by the old Portuguese lighthouse are poles apart but a real and enjoyable part of life here.

Best time to avail a Munnar Thekkady Alleppey holiday package

Due to its proximity to the sea, Kerala, fortunately, does not have very harsh summers, although the weather can get more humid than what most would prefer. Also due to the slopes of the western ghats that flank the state inland, monsoons here are very torrential and it is also subject to the lash of returning monsoons. The best time to visit this amazing place is between the months of September to March, i.e. the winter season, since the returning monsoons cool the land and the natural beauty of the state is clean and primed for viewing. So depending on the season that you would like to enjoy these cities in, Munnar Thekkady Alleppey packages can be availed all year round.
