If Kashmir is heaven on Earth then God probably takes his winter breaks in 'His own Country.'

Lush green forests, carved tea estates, gurgling cascades, chirping insects, coconut trails, herds of elephants and fragrance of spices- welcome to Kerala!

Memorable Mentions (in addition to the nature's bountiful experience):

The hospitality- which was over the top with warmth and cheerful grins and Spices- that still bring flavours afresh- every bite of food in any dish talks about each spice that has been put in heartily.

Places visited: Kochi, Munnar, Alleppey, Kumarakom, Thekkady and Thrissur
