Thiruvananthapuram is the capital of Kerala, and is home to the erstwhile Travancore kingdom. It is not a massive tourism magnate like the biggest city of the state Kochi, however it does boast of some truly amazing things that needs to be explored and experienced. In no particular order, here are my top 5 experiences in and around the city.
A boat safari through one of the largest mangroove system in the country with giant Salt Water Crocodiles lining the shore is what summarizes a typical tour of Bhitarkanika. A sanctuary for the crocodiles, this National park, is both beautiful and wild, making the whole trip an unforgettable experience.
Blue sky, merky backwaters, a sandy beach, an estuary, endless rows of coconut trees, mangrooves, boat, birds and us. This is Poovar lake, a nature lovers delight, lost somewhere near the tip of South India, tucked in Gods own country , Kerala.
A Kerala Houseboat journey is all about getting spoilt by delicious meals & warm hospitality while admiring the endless backwaters and rows after rows of coconut and palm trees. It gives a whole new perspective and appreciation for the life of the people living in villages around the backwaters, depending on it for food and livelihood.
Here’s presenting my complete guide to a Kerala Houseboat Experience to help you plan your own magical experience.
