Tourist Guide

The drive from the beaches to the mountains is about 4 hours. It is dotted with small picturesque villages. The landscape and the fauna changes from palm trees to rubber to spice & tea gardens.

The backwaters of Kerala truly is one of the most magnificens placera I ever visited!

The lush greens are just mesmerizing
#AquaTrove

This place is much much more beautiful than how it looks in this particular picture. The perfectly round star and the mesmerizing water holding that particular boat and life aboard!
