2. Kerala Backwaters
One of the most
tranquil and relaxing things you can do in Kerala is take a trip in a houseboat
along the palm-fringed Kerala canals, known as the backwaters. Freshly cooked
Indian food and chilled beer on board the boat make the experience even more
enjoyable. You can even spend the night out on the middle of a lake. Stay a few
nights at a hotel or resort along the backwaters too. Bliss!

at the bottom of the cliff is a long stretch of sparkling beach, reached by
steps leading down from the cliff top. It's not surprising that Varkala is one
