A Trip to Kerala in India2017 - Our Year Out by Mrs C - March 23, 2017March 23, 2017 So, we’re off to Kerala in India tomorrow! I never thought I’d be writing that sentence. It’s definitely one off ‘The Bucket List’ for us and I’m really looking forward to it.When I saw the break advertised I reckon I was the most decisive I’ve ever been in my life. No going to and from Trip Advisor, no checking the climate, none of the ‘should we, should;t we?’ – just wham…. BOOKED! For someone who can deliberate for aeons in the biscuits aisle in Asda over which ones to buy, this is a pretty major achievement!This was the sentence that ‘sold’ it to me……“A delightful journey through Kerala, “God’s own Country”. – covering Kochi city, Munnar tea plantations, a houseboat stay and a relaxing beach break!”Kerala is in southern India and apparently the scenery is out of this world. Turns out it’s a little paradise, nestled between the Western Ghats and the overwhelmingly beautiful Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean. Mr. C went to Kochi many many moons ago and he says that Kerala has a little bit of everything that India has to offer.Below is some of our itinerary:Flying with Etihad Airways – our 1st time so let’s hope they’re better than our recent BA flight.. We’ve only heard good things about them so fingers crossed!Two-Night Stay in Kochi to explore Kerala’s dynamic cityTwo-Night Stay in Munnar with a Tour of the Tea and Spice Plantation (the tea tasting should be fun)Two-Night Stay exploring Thekkady, the gateway into the Periyar SanctuaryA trip to See Wildlife by BoatDiscover the Dances of the Kathakali and Martial Arts of the KalaripayattuGoing Agatha Christie style on an air-conditioned Houseboat for One-NightBe Wined and Dined On BoardThree-Night Stay in a beach resort in Poovar and one full body Ayurvedic Massage So anyway, will let you know next week how we’re doing in India. Indelicate as it may seem, I have the Imodium packed already just in case! TMI?Incidentally you can book a similar Keralan Odyssey at Citrus Holidays
