Things To Do
Bolgatty Palace
Amid this picturesque island of Bolgatty is the beautiful Bolgatty Palace, the exclusive mansion with four palatial rooms, provides the travelers with world class amenities and wonderful holidaying options. Originally built by Dutch traders in 1744 and it is the oldest of its kind that exists outside Holland.
Taj Mahal
Although not in Kerala, we highly recommend making the trip to Agra to visit this wonder of the world. You will not be disappointed! Fly to Delhi and then take a cab, train, or flight to Agra. Or can fly into Mumbai, India's commercial capital!
Munnar Tea Hills Resort
You can go for lovely walks in the mist-covered tea estates or plan a trip to the famous Attukad Falls, which become a roaring cascade during monsoons. Munnar also has the highest peak in South India, Anamudi, which is an ideal spot for trekking.
Alappuzha
A charming place to visit during monsoon season in Kerala is Alappuzha. Green shores throbbing with vigour and pure beauty will never tire you. The famous snake boat race, an annual event organized here around the first week of August, is a visual delight.
Kumarakom
An enchanting backwater destination, Kumarakom offers visitors many other leisure options. Often referred to as “one of the 10 paradises on Earth”, Kumarakom turns into a haven, and has had its attractions advertised by some stunning top-end resorts by the side of Lake Vembanad.
Fort Kochi
Step foot into Fort Kochi and you will be instantly transported to a different time period. This place is steeped in the history and culture of all who have occupied it through the ages. Its roots and essence are unique in its diversity. While walking through K. J. Herschel Road, one gets a glimpse of Fort Immanuel. This former Portuguese bastion, built in 1503, is a sign of the strategic alliance between the Maharaja of Cochin and the Portuguese Monarch. Further along the road one can see the Dutch cemetery, housing the graves of former Colonists. People also love visiting the nearby Thakur House, a bungalow built in typical colonial era style. It now belongs to Thakur and Co., a renowned tea trading firm, but was once the residence of the officers of the National Bank of India during British rule. It was formerly called Kunal or Hill Bungalow.
Kerala Folklore Museum
Built in three different architectural styles, the Malabar, Cochin and Travancore, this edifice is a treasure trove that showcases the rich heritage that Kerala exudes through its numerous art and dance forms. A 3-hour tour through this incredible museum walks you through the history of Kerala, where every step you take takes you deeper into its culture and heritage. It has over 4000 artifacts, which are all preserved with utmost care. The topmost floor is a beautiful wood lined theatre conducting authentic stage performances of traditional dance forms like Kathakali, Mohiniyattam, and Kalaripayattu.
