What people love about touring Kerala solo
- Relaxing kerala tour ( Cochin Munnar Alleppy Cochin)
relaxing Kerala tour with Cochin, Munnar and Alleppy as our destinations. The experience was simply breathtaking. From the moment we arrived in Cochin, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and felt like we were home. The city of Cochin was so beautiful and full of life. We visited the ancient Jewish synagogue, the Dutch palace, the Chinese fishing nets, the St. Francis church and the Bolghatty palace. We then moved on to Munnar, which is situated in the middle of lush green mountains. It was a beautiful sight to behold. We went on a trek through the tea estates, visited the Mattupetty dam and also went on a boat ride in the Periyar river. It was a perfect way to relax and take in the beauty of nature. Our final destination was Alleppy. We spent our time here enjoying the houseboat cruise, which was so peaceful and relaxing. We also visited the backwaters, the Krishnapuram palace and the Ambalapuzha temple. Overall, our relaxing Kerala tour was simply amazing. We had a wonderful time in each of the destinations and experienced the culture and beauty of the region. The hospitality was great throughout our trip and the local food was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable holiday.
