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!

4. Varkala
The setting of this Varkala beach is striking enough to take your
breath away, with a long winding stretch of cliff and views that extend over
the Arabian Sea. A paved footpath runs along the length of the cliff, bordered
by coconut palms, quaint shops, beach shacks, hotels, and guest houses. Nestled
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
of India's best beaches.

6. Periyar National Park
Kerala's Periyar National Park, in the Thekkady district, is
one of the most popular national parks in southern India. One of the best
things about the park is that it stays open all year round, even during the
monsoon season. Periyar is known for its elephants, and 30 minute elephant
rides through the jungle are offered. Safaris are carried out by boat, with the
lake being particularly captivating at sunset. Visitors can also take part in
an excellent variety of eco-tourism activities there.
