At One Go the Best of Kerala and Kanyakumari

When you want to give yourself and your loved one the pleasure of relaxing in the lap of Nature, a week or so in Kerala and its appendage Kanyakumari, is indicated. The visit will give you a three-in-one gift -the best of hill and wildlife, enchanting backwaters, and beaches-- everything comes in famously affordable package.

Keralatourntravel.com has designed a 10-day tour that would fulfil your heart's desire raging for long. And, one more, Kanyakumari being the holy sangam of three seas, it serves as a pilgrimage too. In fact, you will be discovering India's cultural mooring when you stand at the sangam and look the Sun god taking a dip afar.

The tour beginning from Cochin, the gateway to Kerala, will first take you to the lovely heights of Munnar hill station that nestles in the southern Western Ghats. The long 4-5 hours of road journey with all its hairpin curves, winding hillroutes, hovering dark clouds and panoramic plantations unfolding before you could reach leave you fresh in mind and asking for more.

From Munnar to Thekkady sanctuary, which offers the lake cruise on boat that helps you watch wildlife at close quarters, is a logical step. From the forested hills you will be brought down to Nature's another wonder--the famed backwaters of Kerala that inspired many a lyricist and poet. The boat ride in Kumarakom, Alleppey, Kollam will leave you in a cheerful mood. With the inimical sea food preparations of Kumarakom and Alleppey, you will be in a benign mood to forgive
your worst enemy!

The trip further south takes you to Trivandrum, Kerala's southern-last district which too has a great many senic splendors and nature-fortified beach in Kovalam. Your night stay in Kovalam with its Ayurveda massage to strengthen your nerves and quicken action will leave you rearing to go. Next is Kanyakumari, some 100 kilometers from Trivandrum. Kanyakumari was indeed part of Kerala till 1956 when the Indian states were reorganized on the language basis.

The beauty of Kanyakumari is such that it stirs up manifold whatever urges you have in you. If it is devotional it will take you to the heights of devotion, if it is love, you will reach the dizzy heights of love, if it is career or business ambition, it will further strengthen it and take you to the zenith. Remember, India's most famous philosopher-saint Swami Vivekananda had his dream of re-glorifying India during his meditation at Kanyakumari. The spot is now a memorial called Vivekananda rock.

From Kanyakumari you will be leaving for your home with a souvenir in your mind with never-facing album of exhilarating memories. It is worth your money and trouble, for sure.
