Experiencing the royal Rajasthan delights surely fills the hearts of all and this makes you want more.
After the hot, pretty desert land, what can really add to your memories of a great vacation is the Keralan coastal land in the south. Kerala brings you a number of fascinating spots which justifies why it has been named as God’s Own Country.
This coastal land is a blend of diversity and serenity in itself. Whether you enjoy seas, backwaters, lakes, hills, plantations or wildlife, Kerala has it all. It is a perfect destination for everyone who wants to unwind and relax amidst the beautiful, pure nature. The state boasts of having a vast coast line where you may witness the Arabian Sea waters. It is a crossing junction for various lakes and a land of tranquil Kerala backwaters.
Not to miss a traditional houseboat ride in the palm fringed backwaters. It is a must have ride that will bring you in close proximity to solitude and is also worthy of bringing in romance if you are travelling with your partner. Experience the cool breezes standing on the lush green hills of Thekkady and Munnar or plan a trek in the dense forests of Periyar and Wayanad. It is a great spot for adventure enthusiasts and a retreat for wildlife photographers.
Everything from the sun bathed beaches to the spice plantations will serve you right. Let the amazing islands of Ernakulam contribute to your pleasurable India tour this 2015. You will get a lot of fruits to relish here and can also ask for a fresh tea right from the plantations. A walk into the warmth and hospitality of Kerala is something you can never regret. It is the land of Ayurveda where you can opt for various massages and treatments with scented, medicinal oils while you relax sitting nearby backwaters.
Many tourists enjoy the hills and the backwaters but not many know the charm of experiencing private moments in the dazzling lanes of Wayanad. Wayanad offers privacy amidst gorgeous hills, verdant coffee and tea plantations and exotic wildlife. It has a lot to offer if you like venturing out. The Edakkal caves and the Muthanga wildlife sanctuary are a few to name.
That’s not all! India is incredible, no doubt. After the Keralan backwaters you should visit the Queen of all hill stations. Yes, I am talking about Ooty in Tamil Nadu which is a paradise of lush green hills and dense pine forests. This southern hill station of India welcomes one and all with its evergreen weather that stays pleasant all round the year. Trek towards the Doddabetta peak or Annamalai temple or enjoy sitting by the Pykara and Emerald lakes.
If you are the traditional, religious one, you must explore the fascinating temple cities of Tamil Nadu that include Madurai, Thanjore and Mahabalipuram. These beautiful cities are renowned for their spirituality and architecture. The Shore Temple in Mahabalipuram, which has been recognized as the world heritage site by UNESCO is a must visit. Thanjore is known for its astonishing Chola Sculptures and the marvelous Brihadeeswara Temple that has been built using a single granite block of 80 tons. This temple is set amidst the ancient 16th century Shivaganga fort. Visit the Lord Shiva’s Meenakshi Temple in Madurai which is a gracious sculpture. You must visit the temple at evening so as to be able to participate in the Aarti ceremony here.
That’s not all, Rameshwaram is calling! The place is on the Pamban island that has been separated from Indian mainland by the Pamban channel. It is a highly religious spot especially for Hindus. Apart from the religious and architectural significance of the temples, there is one more thing about this place. A road trip to Rameshwaram is one of the most beautiful journeys that you can have in India. Also, it is the closest point to the gorgeous Sri Lanka.
Plan a trip and take innumerable memories to cherish for a lifetime!
