If some one wants to describe it with a one liner, he may do it: Its a Fabulous place. The main attraction of the place is that its almost dust free with the tourism starting from the transportation to accomodation, the palate lovers to the nature embracers, its a paradise away from home. The scenic beuty of all, from the hills and vales (that of the Western Ghats) to the beutiful warm-cold breezes of the sea, its a place of awe!
The best season is the December- February. The places worth of viewing are like the Trivandrum for its Padmanabham temple and The renouned Kovalam beach, the Backwaters starting from Allepy to Kottayam, the Spice hubs of Kumily associataed with the Periyar wild life sanctuary. The hill view of Munnar and the coastal history of Kochin. The added pleasure, just like the cherry on the icing is Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu.
No wonder Kerala is called Ecological Hotspot, one of the 25 Hotspots found in the World and one of the two found in India, the other being the the mountaineous region of Nort East India, The Himalayan belt of the Seven Sisters!
Some comments:
Place like Kanyakumari is known as the southern most tip of the mainland India. It shows the integration of the three major water bodies of the planet earth. They are the Indian Ocean, The Bay of Bengal and The Arabian Sea. The three waters surprsingly show almost three distinguishable colours. Not only Vivekananda rock is the only spot to be viewed but teh 500 years old wooden palace is also a paradise in wood! Its a 30 km drive on a paid car, and its a nice place to be in!
Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala houses the famous Padmanabham Temple and the Kovalam beach is just 40 minutes from the main city center.
Many more views to be followed....
