Kerala – The Perfect Destination For Leisure Holiday Trips

With its diverse culture, scenic beauty, mesmerizing sights and a plethora of South Indian cuisines, Kerala is a perfect tourist destination for leisure holidaying. It is one of the most charming destinations where you can enjoy the diversity of nature, enriching history and a colorful culture.

Known as 'God's own country', Kerala is flanked by the mountainous Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. The state is blessed with unimaginable natural beauty and has excellent climate and an laid back Malayalee population. The beauty of backwaters in Kerala - 560 miles of emerald waterways that wind languidly past paddy fields and riverside villages – attract millions of tourists from across the world. This is a place where you can glide along in a traditional teak-and-palm-thatch houseboat, enjoy local life, and sleep under the stars. Nelliyampathy, Vythiri Tree House, Periyar Jungle Safari, Kumarakom Backwaters and Varkala Beach are the top places to visit in Kerala.  They offer the most magical experiences.

You can your tour to Kerala in the summer holidays. During this time, you can enjoy an additional treat: the colorful snake boat races. In the race, a team of up to 100 oarsmen participate for a long river race in canoe-style boats amid cheering crowds. The most exciting is the Nehru Trophy Boat Race. A spectacle young traveler won’t easily forget it. This race is held in Alappuzha.

Since you are traveling in summer, walk on natural trek in Periyar National Park. You can spot plenty of animals in the jungles of the vast Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary such as endangered snakes, tigers and about 1,000 elephants. Plan to spend at least two days to explore the backwaters near Alappuzha. Don't fail to enjoy sailing in coveted houseboats on backwaters. See the paddy fields, coconut groves, and of course, long toasty slices of powder beaches that call out to the water and sun loving crowd.

Also, you should not forget to take a cycle tour through Kerala’s country roads; visit local villages and temples. Depending on the duration of your tour, you can visit historically enriched town, Kochi, the oldest European (Portuguese) settlement in India, and laze on the palm-fringed sands of Varkala and Kovalam. It is an amazing sight and gives a delightful experience.

Kerala has something for everyone. Its capital Thiruvananthapuram is located on South Kerala’s low hills to Varkala in the North with magnificent cliffs. Here, you can explore mountainous Ghats. This mountain range is covered with tea and spices like  pepper, cardamom, as well as is the home to exotic wildlife that roam free in the lap of nature. It makes you feel refresh, rejuvenated and relaxed. No doubt, exploring Kerala is as easy and rewarding as a glide through its backwaters. From coconut palm-lined coasts and rolling hills of tea to elephant and tiger reserves, this southern Indian state has a lot to offer.

Overall, Kerala can be one of the best destinations for you to visit with your family or friends during summer.  Find a popular tour operator company to book your tour package. There are many companies in India that offer customized tour packages to Kerala at affordable rates. Choose one online.
