A Memorable Trip to Kerala’s Periyar Wildlife Reserve

A Memorable Trip to Kerala’s Periyar Wildlife Reserve

Why Kerala is more attracted to Europeans travelers ?

Kerala is the most fascinating and incredible part of India. Really Kerala is a strip of land between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats, its perfect climate flirts unabashedly with the fertile soil, and everything glows. An easy-going and successful socialist state, Kerala has a liberal hospitality that stands out as its most laudable achievement.

The major fascinations of Kerala tourism are the wildlife of Kerala, backwaters of Kerala, exotic beaches of Kerala etc. Tourists from all round the globe come to witness Kerala Backwaters. The verdant coastline of Kerala is a home to many natural and manmade canals, lakes and many rivers. You can cruise along the Kerala backwater to view the rural life of different villages near the river banks.

In fact, the exotic beaches, lush green forest, blue sea, rolling hills, and the wildlife in Kerala have been the center of attraction to the tourist, since time immortal. Undoubtedly, Kerala reveals grandeur in every walk of life. So, never fail to travel in Kerala, which is a home to variety of attraction.

Kerala has a well-deserved reputation as one of the easiest places in India for foreign travelers to visit and English is widely spoken. Kerala is rightly famed for its incredible beaches, but between its coastline in the west and the Western Ghats mountain range on its eastern border, visitors will find an enticing mix of historic cities, ancient monuments, wildlife parks, vibrant communities, history and breathtaking scenery. The state is also famed for its rivers and waterways and a boat tour exploring the villages and communities that live in these lush areas is the highlight of many people's stay in Kerala.

Combine this with some of the most taste bud-tingling cuisine in India, and you can imagine how hard it will be to leave before you even get here.
