Kerala Tourism

There’s nothing your camera will love more than the beaches scattered across Kerala, specially Kochi. Filtering the last rays of the setting sun against a magical backdrop, the chinese fishing nets make for a surreal spectacle.

If you ever get tired of them, you have the lighthouse beach of Kovalam waiting for you with cloudline that you see only in paintings. Apart from being scenic, the beaches in Kerala are usually less crowded than their counterparts in other beach destinations. Muzhappilangad Beach is also the longest drive-in beach in Asia. So, stop waiting and start preparing yourself for the awesome #GoKerala contest that could land you on these beaches!

HolidayIQ reviewer rakesh says, “A paradise for beach lovers. This place can be visited at any time of day but the sun rise and sunset times are the best. Crystal clear water and 8 to 10 feet high waves of water are an invitation to swimmers.”

Are you ready for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience? Look no further than the luxury and peace of mind that the backwaters of Alappuzha offer. Imagine waking up to the golden sunset reflecting on a lake while the morning mist disperses with the break of dawn! Heaven!

If that’s not motivation enough, you can also enjoy backwater cruises in the 'Venice of the East’(Alappuzha). Apart from reveling in the greenery around you, you can get pampered in the luxurious houseboats and feel like royalty! At Munroe Island, you can get a taste of the village life. All you have to do is take part in the #GoKerala contest and watch your dreams turn into reality.  

HolidayIQ reviewer Vikas says, “This is the best backwater city in India. You have visit anywhere through boat. Houseboat and shikara ride is very good.”

When it comes to hill stations too, Kerala has something for everybody. From the lush tea plantations of Munnar and the dreamy valleys of Wayanad to the spicy aroma infused breeze of Idukki and the relative solitude of Gavi- you just can’t go wrong with any of these!

If you’re done with the usual, you can acquaint yourself with the tribal way of life in Peerumedu or trek through the Chelikandam forest in Ayyampuzha, all the way to the mesmerizing Athirapally falls.

HolidayIQ reviewer Akanksha says, “Remember Bahubali, the movie is shoot here. It is not as big as shown in the movie but a beautiful one. Very huge and beautiful.”  

So, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and get ready for the most exciting trip of your life with HolidayIQ and Kerala Tourism's #GoKerala contest!

HolidayIQ reviewer Sebastian P says, “The drive from Bangalore to Munnar is a good adventure. Driving through the green stretches along the Western Ghats, passing through Salem and Coimbatore. It’s very scenic and you will be forced to stop at many places on this route."

Adds HolidayIQ reviewer Ajeet Deshmukh, “The roads in Kerala are excellent and even though most of the travelling is through the hills, the roads were really good; you don't get tired while driving. As everywhere it's a single lane road, it takes time to reach the destination but I truly enjoyed driving in Kerala.”

Route: NH7 and via Alleppey-Madurai Road
