Although it is famous mainly for trade and commerce, there is more to Kochi than meets the eye. It has a deep history and important traditions that have effectively contacted modernization. There are several captivating spots to visit and learn about its economy, history, heritage, festivals and the unique lifestyle of the locality.

Munnar is famous for its great weather throughout the year. The sight-seeing points, waterfalls and the backwaters, both in Munnar and on the road to Munnar is an excellent part of Kerala tour packages.
Visitors can easily spend a weekend or a whole week in the hill station to rest, relax and freshen up both physically and mentally. The breathtaking landscape and the refreshing climate make Munnar an ideal place for couples holidays or honeymoons.

The temples and pilgrimage sites
Kerala signifies temples and holy sites. Referred to as “God’s own country”, Kerala isn’t just home to temples but several beautiful and peaceful churches, mosques, gurudwara, and monasteries. Religion is the part of everyday life in Kerala and it won’t be wrong to say that Kerala is the most religiously diverse places in India. Maybe on the whole planet.
The Sabrimala temple dedicated to Lord Ayyappa is based on secular ideals and values. Before visiting the temples, tourists have to visit the nearby mosque.
The Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple, a 260-year-old temple dedicated to Maha Vishnu is the richest in the world. It is arguably the most popular temple in the world and without it, Tiruvananthapuram would have never come into the limelight.
An example of beauty, divine culture, and religious diversity Kerala is a place that everyone must visit once in their lifetime. There are many good Kerala tour packages available that can help travelers choose their ideal tourist spot.
