Kerala is called God's own country for
some reason. It lures people from every corner of the Globe because of the
beauty it carries. Kerala in itself is a breath of fresh air, a therapy which
cannot be replaced by anything in the world. Nobody would want to leave Kerala
after a great vacation because it offers some of the best things in the world
which cannot be found elsewhere! Let’s look into what are those best 'things'.
·
Kerala’s Cuisine: When in Kerala, do not carry a weight machine because
Kerala has a lip smacking series of food to offer and you'll be left with no
space in your stomach but in your heart. The rice here tastes just heaven, and
you get more than 11 varieties of rassam (a type of curry) which should be
mixed with the rice and savoured. Each rassam tastes completely different yet
oh so delicious! The traditional Tapioca and fish, Onam sadya, Payasam, Malabar
biriyani, Kerala Duck, Curries in Coconut milk, Karimeen Pollichathu and the
list goes on.. are some of the very few delicacies that can be found only in
Kerala. Don’t miss out their all time favourite ‘idli vada sambhar’. Time to
pamper your taste buds!

Houseboats: It is a trademark of Kerala and the first thing that
tourists opt for. As you explore the Kerala back waters while you're on this
cruise, you will realise that this is a geographical formation which is rarely
found on earth! Alleppey is the hub of the best houseboats and backwaters.
Although if you want to add a little more adventure to it, go explore the
lesser known and yet unexplored backwaters and rent a houseboat there! Kerala
is just so full of surprises. Who wouldn't like to float on the waters while
they enjoy the lush surroundings and watch village life? Definitely not you!

The onam festival: It is a Hindu
festival but everybody in the state celebrates it whole-heartedly. Onam is the
harvest festival of Kerala. It is celebrated with full enthusiasm for ten long
days. People go for snake boat race,
design a flower carpet known as pookkalam, eat onam sadya, play games, wear
traditional outfits- men wear mundu-shirt and women wear Kerala set saree. It
is probably the most colorful, energetic, cheerful and unique festival you will
ever get to watch. No wonder we get to see this only in Kerala!
