Posted by Vue India on November 28th, 2019

Everyone is running to achieve some target, reach a place in their lives, sprinting towards an invisible goal. But just like an overworked machine, the human mind needs to take a break for a while. And Kerala, God’s Own Country, is the part of India that’s made to help the tourists relax.

Riddled with criss-crossing fresh water rivers that merge with the Arabian Sea at the famous Kerala backwaters, a Kerala tour package includes abundant natural beauty, soothing Ayurvedic treatment, unique experience of a houseboat, finger-licking cuisine.

Nestled in the green Western Ghat hills and caressed by the Arabian Sea, Kerala has recently been attributed by the National Geographic magazine as one of the ‘10 Paradises of the Earth’. One of the most scenic and serene places in India, Kerala has a unique geography where the hills meet the sea along the backwaters.

WAVES OF PEACE AND QUIET

The clean and serene beaches of Kerala, away from the hustle and bustle of the metro cities, will allow you the space to relax and let the drudgery of everyday life fade away in the sea breeze.

Rent a bicycle or a motorcycle or scooter to hop from one beach to another without any hassle. Some of the most famous Kerala beaches are Kozhikode, Marari, Alappuzha, Varkala, and Kovalam.

UNWIND ON A HOUSEBOAT

The unique experience of staying on a houseboat in Kerala backwaters is surreal. For the period of accommodation, the tourists will be in command of the boat. They decide where it shores, when it floats.

With an onboard chef, a pilot and support crew, enjoy the inexplicable beauty of the Kerala backwaters without any worry. Experience the serenity and calmness of this UNESCO World Heritage site on a floating private home. Many foreign travellers come to Kerala to witness this incredible experience. Let the serenity of Kerala touch your soul and get rid of all the hassles of daily life.

AYURVEDA SOOTHES BODY AND MIND

The ancient Indian medical practice is all natural. Ayurveda is the culmination of medical knowledge and botany. Ayurveda not only re-energizes your body but the therapeutic treatment cleanses your mind and rejuvenates you to whole new avatar. You feel lightweight, devoid of any pressure after a nice long session of Ayurvedic massage.

Apart from being a treat for the eyes, Kerala is also famous for being the centre of Ayurvedic treatment in India. Heal from chronic ailments, detoxify your body and mind, or just relax in the calming ambiance of Ayurvedic resorts in Kerala.

CELEBRATION OF RITUALS, ART & CULTURE

Apart from being the calm and quiet sojourn for wandering souls, Kerala is also famous for its festive spirit. Onam, the main festival of Malayalis – the natives of Kerala, is observed each year in August-September. Thrissur Pooram is another major festival of Kerala, known for its enchanting music and elephant dance.

But what would be the most relaxing experience is the Kochi-Muziris Biennale Festival. The biggest art exhibition in India and the biggest contemporary art festival in Asia, the ‘Biennale’ is held across multiple venues in Fort Kochi, the colonial or old part of Kochi. One can rent a bike for a day and check out all the venues pretty easily.

EXOTIC SPICE CAPITAL OF INDIA

Dip your finger into a bowl of Prawn Mango Curry, a specialty in Kerala, or have a spoon full of Thalassery Biryani and you will realize why the state is the Spice Capital of India. The dense rainforests of Kerala are famous for the spice and coffee plantations.

Kozhikode is the city where the most exotic spices are brought from the hills and traded to major cities across India and the world. Remember Vasco Da Gama, the Portuguese who discovered India in 1498 and never went back? It was these spices that had allured the European trader to India and it was the spices that made him stay back in Fort Kochi.

Kerala is the soothing balm on a weary soul as it brings the essence of peace and calm in each of its aspects. So, if you are in a rut of daily life, catch a break and indulge in a Kerala holiday package.
