Location Located at the southernmost tip of the country, Kerala
stretches along the Arabian Sea. A
narrow strip of land, it is separated from the adjoining states
by the mighty Western Ghats.Best Time to Visit While the state is
accessible throughout the year, a pleasant time to visit would
be
between September and April when the merciless tropical sun
beats relatively less harshly. Rains in Kerala
can be truly magical, and the best time to attend rejuvenation
programmes is from May to September.
Quaint Cochin of cobbled streets, languid backwaters of
Kumarakom, beachside revelries
and windswept skies Kerala is a magic box of travel trysts. And
the wildlife sanctuary at
Periyar comes as a welcome twist in the tale! From beautiful
backwaters to cascading
waterfalls, from spice plantations set amidst rolling hills to
lagoons fringed by dense coconut
trees, from sparkling canals to quaint colonial towns, Kerala's
contrasting landscape and
culture is rediscovered with each new journey into this
paradise.

airport is the Cochin International Airport,
which is about 110 kilometres away. You can reach Munnar from
Cochin in about 4 hours.Best Time To Visit -Munnar remains pleasant
almost throughout the year, but the best time to visit would
be during the summers (March to July) as you could beat the heat
of the cities. During the winters, you
would be well advised to carry heavy woolen clothing as the
temperature can be as low as 5 degree Celsius.
This hill station in God's Own Country is a spectacular stretch
of silent mountains
interspersed with lush green tea plantations and swaying swathe
of thick forests.

Munnar has grown from being a
giant in the tea production sector to becoming a major tourist
attraction. Designated as the
summer resort of the British during the colonial period,
Munnar's refreshing beauty and
climate keeps any visitor in the best of moods and spirits.

situated at an altitude of 6,000
feet. Trekking around the majestic mountains of Munnar with
startling scenes of glorious
valleys along the way is another highlight.
