Pocket Kerala From Cochin
Kerala feels like a dream that took shape between the sea and the sky. Locals call it God’s Own Country — and once you see the mist rolling over tea hills or the backwaters glowing at sunset, you’ll get why. It’s not just pretty scenery though. It’s the slow pace, the warmth of people, and the way everything here seems to breathe in rhythm with nature.
Whether you want a fancy spa holiday, an offbeat adventure, or just a quiet break with coconut trees for company — Kerala delivers.
The Backwaters: Kerala’s Calm Heartbeat
Nothing sums up Kerala better than a houseboat drifting through the backwaters. You’ll float past sleepy villages, lush paddy fields, and palm trees leaning into the water like they’re eavesdropping on your thoughts.
Alleppey (Alappuzha) and Kumarakom are the usual favorites — lively, scenic, and easy to reach. If you want peace and fewer crowds, head to Kollam and explore Ashtamudi Lake.
Houseboats usually have a small crew that cooks for you. Meals are simple, local, and absurdly good — imagine eating spicy fish curry while the boat rocks gently under a pink sky.
