Journey back to Native Land !

I always loved visiting my native land or like others call it God's own Country. So every year as a kid when i would have summer vacations from school my father & I mostly would plan a trip to Kerala. The land of coconuts, the land of plantains, the land of nature & beauty filled across. A perfect getaway for good 1 month from Mumbai and its scorching heat.

So speaking of kerala I always loved the nature, my family back there and beautiful landscape the place offered and not to forget the yummy home food. But Kerala being my own native town as a child we never got to explore the place much and enjoy the beauty of it. We only had time to visit our relatives, enjoy the food and watch malayalam movies and cover as many temples as we can in that visit.

So that being said its time I explore this beautiful country on its own, know the people around, hit all nook & corner around.

Be it from spending a day or 2 in a houseboat enjoying the backwaters or an evening walk down the kovalam beach, to exploring the not so known hidden Estury island from kovalam beach, from Waynad to Munar. From Athirapilly waterfalls experience to walking the paddy fields on a rainy day. Experiencing ayurvedic massage to sipping fresh tender coconut water on a sunny day. Starting from fresh hot steamed breakfast and extending to the enormous sadhya (banana leaves used as plates and array of dishes)to ending enjoying different forms of Art & culture of Kerala.

A wishlist of kerala has been set now all I need is to set on the number of days & the year to be marked in my calender.
