Important things you should take care of while travelling in Kerala.

Keep your emergency kit handy: A well packed medical kit is very important due to the weather conditions and will be handy at times. Fill your kit with the most necessary items like band-aids, balms, allergy medicines, and few tablets for fever, cold, head ache, vomiting, etc. The medicine kit is very important as we often forget to take the medicines.

Lock the locations: You have definitely pre-decided on the locations you want to travel. However, we would like to suggest a few. Kochi(Cochin) is something you must visit and probably is your landing location. Kochi has a lot of sightseeing places which includes Marine drive (famous hangout of the locals walk ways in the Heart of the City facing backwaters), Chinese fishing net (see the unusual way of fishing), Fort Cochin, Dutch palace, Jewish synagogue, the swimming friendly Cherai beach, and Athirapally-Vazhachal waterfalls, the most famous and largest water fall in Kerala.

Munnar: A must see hill station and one of the most beautiful places in the state Places to visit in Munnar include Eravikulam national park (watch the Nilgiri thaws), Mattupetty Dam (famous for its still water which reflects the tea garden around), Cheeyappara Water Falls, Anamudi (the highest peak in south India) Devikulam (hill station with a awesome scenic beauty), Attukal waterfalls and Rose gardens.

Thekkady: The best place to visit if you are interested in wildlife & ecotourism activities. There is a boat ride in Thekkady which takes you around the Periyar wildlife sanctuary through the Periyar Lake. Don’t expect to see rare animals. You could see wild elephants, deer’s and monkeys etc.

While traveling these locations across cities, keep a tab on the timings of the places, if there is any particular dress required, distance between places and the time required along with mode of travel, and what precautions to be taken in each of the spots you visit.

Choose the right vehicle: While choosing of vehicle is based on your comfort level, pick one based on the number of people travelling together and the distance to be traveled. Go for Toyota Innova type vehicles for 4 to 7 persons; small hatchbacks are good for 1 to 3 persons.

Stop to shop: While traveling one cannot miss this piece, especially when you are visiting truly exotic destination like Kerala. You will come across a wide range of items that reflects the culture, history, Art & Socio-religious aspect of the state. We would like to suggest you to pick up souvenirs like Aranmula Kannadi (metal mirror), Mural paintings, Kasavu saree (sari with golden brocade), Nettor petti (Traditional Jewellery box), Nettipatham (Caparison of Elephant), Kathakali models, and coir products.
