Booked: Exotic Kerala | Misty Mountains and Coastal Hues
Travelled From: Bangalore
We had been doing international trips for several years and decided this time to slow down and go deep into Kerala. Athirappilly waterfall had good volume before the monsoon and the jungle around it was completely alive. The houseboat in Alleppey moving slowly through backwater canals at dusk with village life visible on both banks was something no international resort stay has ever given us. Munnar tea estates in the early morning before the mist lifted. Our Thrillophilia coordinator Karthik had built flexibility into the last two days which allowed us to extend Kumarakom when we wanted to. This kind of travel actually resets you.

The flight from CCU was comfortable and the Kerala arrival process was very easy with the driver waiting at the gate. We enjoyed the traditional fish curry and the local vibe of the heritage hotels.
