My journey through Kerala was a mesmerizing blend of serene backwaters, misty hill stations, and lush tea gardens. Starting in Kochi, I marveled at the iconic Chinese fishing nets at sunset before heading to the tranquil hills of Munnar. The drive was breathtaking, passing spice plantations, cascading waterfalls, and toddy shops. In Munnar, I was captivated by the rolling tea estates, watching skilled hands pluck tender leaves. A visit to Mattupetty Lake, nestled among verdant slopes, was the perfect retreat. As I bid farewell to this paradise, I knew Kerala’s charm would forever linger in my heart.
