I like travelling but i never been travelling more than 2 days. I visited most of the places surrounding Gujarat. Kerala is the first far place to visit from my Native. I got the chance to visit Kerala for my Honeymoon.Here I am sharing you my experience of Visit.
I am salaried person so we have only one Small vacation in year. I was leaving alone form my hometown.So, in this small vacation I would like to spend time with my family and childhood friends in my native. and memories for rest year.
I got married in February,2015. We both loves travel before marriage we met infrequently. We both from conservative family so our first trip is most important for us to understand each other. We both are planning for honey moon after finishing all the family conform.
We have added one more newly married couple with us. We all were thinking about lots of places. Made one group on whats app and group chat daily till our selection. After so much discussion we finally mutually selected Kerala. We booked our trip though travel agent.
We all are so much excited and the day has come. I was so excited because of long trip and my first experience to travel by Flight.
Tourist brochures proudly proclaim Kerala as ‘God’s own country’ and I’m not one to quibble with them. From the moment that we landed at Cochin (Kochi) airport. Travel agent assured us for Xylo car with carrieal but they sent Ertiga car without carrieal so we are so much angry on travel agent and altercation with driver. Suddenly I realized that car is brand new and 6 people can sit easy and we are just 4 person why we fighting. After my intervention driver appeasable. Here I would like to mentioned that most of the people speaking english and local language.They understand hindi but speak THODA THODA.
Tea plantations. Munnar, Kerala, India
Now,Our trip is start from Kochi Airport. We are moving toward Munnar our first spot. Munnar is approx 140 KM away from Kochi. Munnar is hill station and Zik Zak road. We feel cold Air and greenery & clouds out side the car. this all look so romantic. We had booked Deshadan Hotel it is situated on top of the hill. We take shower and dinner and take some rest in the evening we went for walking and feel the hill from the very close.I feel this hills are queens. We click lots memories in our camera.From the sunset point view we enjoy the sun set. But when you in Kerala and you are vegetarian then you face some problem. in terms of test you can easy order Punjabi foods but test is not good may be because of coconut oil. I prefer rice and dal.
Second day, As per our itinerary our driver picked up and we were moving toward the tea museum. here we seen how they making the different kind of tea from the plants. We tested verity of tea and bought Tea,Coffee, and tea powder. Here is the place where you can buy different test of tea.This is first time we had seen verity of tea!. Here you can see historical video about tea factories and history of tea.
After completing tea museum we had took lunch in Munnar city. and we are moving to our next spot name rose garden.Here you can enjoy lot of types of roses. best place to click your romantic memories in your camera.
LALO this is the name we gifted to our driver. We called him lalo he is always smiling and says Bhahut achha hai.......one of the sweet memories of ours trip.
Third day, We were moving to Thekkady is the location of Periyar national park. Here you can enjoy elephant ride, and adventurous forest life. But we are tired and my wife is not filling well so we would prefer to rest in the hotel after lunch and in the evening. We decide to went for Katthkali and Kalari show. This both show are fantastic. I liked Kalari lot becouse of extra ordinary stunts performed live. You must watch both of the show without thinking much.
Fourth day, we are moving to Kumarakom for houseboat trip. A tour in the house boat will really take you to the height of enjoyment and ecstasy. It will be an unforgettable experience in your life. The slow movement of the house boats, the gentle touch of the sweet breeze from the cool backwaters all but mesmerizes you to an unmentionable excitement and happiness. It is an exotic feeling, so romantic, so thrilling, and so pulsating an experience it would be that you cannot but permit it never to be faded from your memory. The greenery, scenes of the villages, the boat jetties and passengers, the farmers and paddy fields, the coconut palms on either sides of the banks, all together make your trip most beautiful. On the whole you feel relaxed, calm and gentle as the backwaters.We took dinner with pastry cutting and enjoy couple dance in boat. We carried our laptop and played music.
Fifth day, We stared toward Kovalam one of the most beautiful sea.The beach is very clean. However, the currents are very strong and hence it is not a good idea to go deep. Even with high tide , we struggled to keep balance and had to be sure the children did not get swept away. There is a changing room - which will be needed as the water is very sandy and the sand gets into the pores - so a shower is must. However, ladies be prepared that it is not a private shower and is more like a community center.Best place to do back water activity.
We stayed Isola Di Cocco resort for two days.To begin with the resort is located in the woods and away from city crowd. The resort was very well maintained and was clean. Rooms were nice. We faced AC issue but was immediately resolved.
The resort is located on Poovar beach which is accessible from only couple of resorts and Isola Di Cocco is one of them. If you are staying in this resorts you can enjoy the privilege of kind of private beach.
About the location it is one of the best location in Kerala, many of the local people are also not aware about it so you can expect little less crowd.
So those who are planning to visit Kerala I would recommend this is a MUST. Hotel is offering you complementary boating so not spend money on boating other than this. Carried your swimming costume or it is easy available near pool.
Last day we would prefer to visit Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Trivendrum. Most beautiful temple you can't visit temple wearing western cloths. Out side the temple you can purchase loongi. It is mandatory for males and females. Surprisingly i could not found changing room. We are so luck we seen the holy prayer (Aarti). Elephant inside the temple. this all seem you are in Heaven and you feel god is standing with you.
After that we buy some Banana chips and visited our last spot apart from itinerary Thiruvananthapuram Zoo. It is good and well maintain.
So, an the end I would like to share Kerala is famous for Spices,Ayurveda treatments,tea, Banana & Cashew, Waterfalls & caves .Why Kerala is best rated place for honey moon? because Here you can enjoy Hills,Waterfalls,Garden, and most beautiful beach.All the Captioned things make your honey moon most memorable.
Thank you!
