Wanna have a rough journey through "KERALA".. renowned as God's Own Country all over the tourist maps.. The place is known for its moderate climate and natural beauty.
Kerala the south western part of India, is attracted by the tourists for the state has a vibrant art and culture along with so many gorgeous tourist destinations spreaded all over its 14 districts.. The place is blessed with so many beaches, backwaters, water falls, forests, hill stations, monuments, Palaces, Forts etc, all in together gives an around full package for a tourist coming to the place... Besides their are many ayurvedic massage centers blended with the backwater tourism..
The land is notable for its lush green vegetation throughout, and for the abundance of water bodies as rivers and lakes... The district Alappuzha here is like the Venice, a place with abundance of backwaters . The people in this district depends on waterways more than the roadways..
The visit to kerala is surely incomplete if you haven't visited places like kuttanad, kumarakom etc which are in the Alappuzha district..

"Hmmm..what u looking at.. My tooth are brushed already... Don't you see?. They are white!!!..Do you like to buy one as a Pet for your home. Elephants are domesticated and trained to do things here in Kerala especially for religious and business purposes..
The biggest mammal on land in man's control..An Indian Elephant.A tusker here..When compared to African elephants smaller in ear size and tusk length..These Indian Elephants are considered to be endangered due to heavy poaching for ivory..
These days elephant fury newses and deaths are common, pointing to the fact that we need more severe restrictions and laws for keeping Elephants and caring them..

"Kovalam Beach...One Of The Best Beaches In India"
An Aerial view of the Kovalam beach.. The beach is somewhat about 16kms from the capital city of Kerala, Trivandrum. The beach is safe for sea bathing and other activities..And their is a Light house situated nearby, from where you can get an eagle eye view of the whole place.
The place Kovalam is away from the rush of busy capital city and will be always saturated with Tourists.. Can be considered as a must see place in Kerala's tourist map.....
Besides kovalam Kerala is blessed with a number of beaches in most of its districts for the state has a large distance of coastal area.

These are just some parts of Kerala. There are many more beautiful places like these!
ReplyDeleteIt is true that Kerala is God's own country. From mist cloaked mountains to golden beaches, from quaint gushing waterfalls to breathtakingly serene backwaters, from palm fronds delicately dipping into waters to sprawling tea gardens, from man made wonders to the marvels of nature - if there's is one place that has it all, it is Kerala. Kovalam is one of the most famous places in Kerala. Check out all best places to visit in Kovalam also.
