KOVALAM(BEACH)
This beach, right outside the Travancore Heritage compound, is actually a few kilometers closer to the beach in a village in Chowara. It's a rugged fisherman's beach. At night the sea is illuminated with the boats' running lights, creating a glow similar to a small city. During the day the fisherman sleep in their boats. Watch your step if you take a walk outside of the 100 yards of Tranvancore cleaned area. It's like a large cat litter box.
ALLEPPEY(BACKWATERS)
The houseboat ride around the backwaters is more a kin to time travel than anything else. We saw people giving kids a bath, brushing teeth, and doing laundry in the water right outside their steps. Tiger prawns, fish, goats, chicken, rice, coconuts, mangoes, and banannas were all plentiful and within easy reach.
MUNNAR-THEKKADY
This ride was heaven for the eyes and hell on the stomach.
COCHIN-MUNNAR(WATERFALLS)
The beautiful climb from Cochin to unnar reminded me very much of the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway in the summertime. Lush greens, old rocks, and lots of fresh flowing streams.
