Why Kerala Is Perfect for Couples and Families
Discover Kerala’s backwaters, hills, and beaches with well-planned Kerala tour packages for a relaxing and memorable trip.
There are some places on earth that will not merely inspire you, but linger within your mind even after you have returned home. One such place is Kerala. This beautiful and lush state, tucked away in the south western part of India, is called "God's Own Country" for a reason. From hill stations to cruises on the backwaters, Kerala envelops every traveler within a sort of beauty that is difficult to describe. If you have been dreaming of your next vacation, then it is time to seriously consider Kerala holiday packages from Odyssey Travels.
The Backwaters — A World Unlike Any Other
Let's start with the experience that Kerala is most famous for: the backwaters. Picture this: you are gliding across serene backwaters on a wooden houseboat, surrounded by swaying palms, rice fields, and the sounds of rural India. Alleppey and Kumarakom are the destinations for the most enchanting houseboat cruises you'll ever be on. It's the essence of slow travel – the kind of travel that allows you to breathe.
Sun, Sand, and Stunning Sunsets
Kerala's coastline is just as mesmerizing. Not only are the beaches in Kerala beautiful, but they have a personality of their own. Kovalam beach and its lighthouse, Varkala beach and its cliff-top views, and the tranquil beauty of Marari Beach – all these beaches are worth a visit. Whether it is relaxation, water sports, or a jaw-dropping Arabian Sea sunset, these beaches promise it all.
The Hills Are Calling
Go inland and you will be in a totally new world. The rolling tea gardens in Munnar, the deep rainforests of Wayanad and the spice-scented air of Thekkady all make these two areas look like they were made to be painted. Nature-lovers and trekkers will certainly not be wanting here, and to all the rest the mere aesthetic grandeur suffices.
Don't miss Athirapally Falls near Thrissur — one of the most magnificent waterfalls in India, especially during or just after the monsoon season.
Wellness, Wildlife, and Culture
But it is not just a beautiful destination. Kerala is one of the best places in the world for Ayurvedic wellness retreats. Treatments, yoga, and spa experiences can be found throughout the state, but especially at luxury resorts on the backwaters and by the sea.
Wildlife enthusiasts will love visiting the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary in Thekkady, where there are elephants, tigers, and a wide range of birdlife. And for those who love culture, there is no shortage of interest in Fort Cochin, including Kathakali dance and the fascinating Mattanchery Palace.
