An escape from the capital city of India to Kerala

September 22, 2017September 22, 2017 admin

“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.”

Kerala is a biodiversity hub where the people get to see a lot of tourist sites. As one travels through the ways here, he indulges into the mother nature and escapes into the wildernesses of the place. A lot of places hence house both flora and fauna which makes the whole ecosystem of the location. As one view the Gods own country from an airplane, all that he gets to see is either water or greenery of the land. In order to witness this one should surely come on a Kerala tour package with price that is affordable in which people can see the best destinations of the place. I decided to take the opportunity of visiting Kerala along with my friends from our office. As the public holidays arrived, we decided to set on this trip from Delhi, to the other end of India.

We flew to the Kozhikode International airport as one among our team belonged to this district. It didn’t take us long to reach the place where he lived. We were treated quite well with biryanis and a lot of snacks and fruits. The journey had been quite tiring due to which I had almost everything that had been kept in front of me. At the end, my friend also served us Kozhikode Halwa which was indeed a delight to my stomach. In fact, the delicious food of Kerala welcomed us and we felt quite good in being welcomed that way. We had already decided that we would be going to few places at Kozhikode, the next day in order to explore this Malabar region.

The first place where we set to explore was the Thusharagiri waterfalls. In order to reach the falls, we had to trek up the hills. And we would never complain as anyone would feel like hiking here due to the plantations that surround the place. There were three hills located here which were the Erattumukku, Mazhavil Chattom, and Thumbithullum Para. As I walked, I could hear the sounds of insects and the humming of birds. I also got to see some birds which I had never spotted anywhere before. People had been growing pepper and other spices there. We reached the falls which had been cascading in grace. The view was amazing and it seemed to be flowing from nowhere. As we had come from Delhi we had not been to so many waterfalls. Even though there are few of them located in Rajasthan and Shimla we had to travel a long way to reach it. On being on this Kerala tour package from Delhi we had been on an escape trip. The major escape was from the pollution there due to which just being in these eco-spots were of joy to us. After sitting there and resting for some time, we clicked some pictures of the place.

On trekking for half a day, people could reach the adjoining district which is Wayanad. But as our car had been waiting for us, we did not take that adventure and returned back to go to the next place on our list which was the Kakkayam dam. The aura of this place was more than just heart-warming. We went to the dam and took a short boat ride in it. Even though it was evening time we could feel the chilled air here on cruising through the dam. The trees still had the dewdrops falling beneath. Animals like goats and bisons had been grazing on the grass there. The whole view of the hills standing in between the grasslands was indeed amazing. After exploring the place, we left to the next place in between which we decided to have some food. The meals served here is quite special as they have both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The seafood served here is outstanding as the spices on it makes it taste good. We went to the Vellari Mala which belonged to both Kozhikode and Wayanad. This is indeed an awesome place to trek up the hills. We walked through for some time as the weather had been good even though it was noon time. The huge trees that had been there made the view more beautiful. Finally, we went to the famous Kozhikode beach which seemed crowded even on a weekday.

Quite a lot of snacks were being served there out of which we had tasted some as we were hunger stricken. In some time we went back as the next day we had decided to go to Wayanad. It took us approximately 3 hours to reach this beautiful land. The drive along the route itself seemed adventurous. On the sides of the road, I had seen deer that had been grazing. Wildlife sanctuaries and parks are located in this place After hogging some breakfast we decided to go to the Wayanad wildlife sanctuary. After taking the necessary instructions from the forest department we set inside with a guide who accompanied us. Endangered as well as exotic species resided in this hub of nature. We walked in without making noise as it would shoo away the animals around the place. We got to see some wild cats which we had never seen anywhere before. The animal seemed to be carefree of our presence. We also got the sight of some exotic birds which kept fluttering around. After spending almost 3 hours inside we got out and went to the Chembra peak for trekking. Wayanad seemed to be an amazing place to visit on a honeymoon.

There were quite a lot of places for the couples to visit here which we had avoided as we were more into trekking We had already suggested our couple friends from Delhi to visit this place for a memorable time. On coming on a Kerala honeymoon package from Delhi they could have privacy as well as peace compared to other crowded places. Also, there were not enough couple hangout places at the capital city. As we climbed up, we got to see a heart-shaped lake. Out of the places I had trekked in Kerala, this place seemed harder but totally worth as the sight ones to see from the top is priceless. It took us a long time to get back down. And had drained all the energy from us too. Hence we decided to stay over at a resort in Wayanad. The next day we went to the Kuruva Island. It was a small delta which had orchids all around it. Nature was purely at bliss as butterflies had been fluttering around which was a great sight. We had to get back to Kozhikode in order to fly back as our holidays were already over. So right after having some fun at Kuruva, we set back home.

The specialty of Kerala indeed is not just the tourist destinations, but also the cuisines that are served to the people which call back any tourist to visit the place again. The accommodation sites here are also very welcoming where we get maximum comfort which helps in getting rid of travel sickness. Also, there are a number of destinations to visit and explore here which offers nature at its best. A trip through this land is hence the best option to take when planning to go on vacation with DreamHolidays.

My Experience on Trip to Kerala !!

February 7, 2017February 7, 2017 admin

Travel has always been one of my greatest pleasures. Being a nature lover that is mixed with the love for photography, the God’s own nation that is blessed with many wonders of nature has always been on my bucket list of destinations to visit. When you think about travel you will never feel like you are ready. There would be a lot of things running through your mind. Like where to go? When? And how? All these makes you want to postpone your trip and the destination remains a dream still to explore. Kerala has always been my such dream destination. But this time I made it possible with amazing Kerala tour packages. And thanks to Go Geo holidays who was a wonderful companion throughout my journey. I felt like I have traveled with a friend from Kerala, a friend indeed knows in and out all about Kerala. How one travels can always make the difference between just an Ok visit to a fully immersive experience. And when I traveled with Kerala tour packages from Bangalore with Go Geo I just didn’t visit those wonderful places in Kerala. It was like I was a part of the land. I felt like all my senses are activated. I have tasted, felt, smelt and heard this nature’s paradise at it’s fullest. And I also had wonderful opportunities to quest my photographic mind. The breathtaking backwaters and coconut forests in Alleppy, the hills carpeted with tea gardens in Munnar, the placid waters of lakes are all a must see spots that a serious traveler must visit. And there was always a chance to explore the places by myself and experience the local culture and the day to day life of people. The journey started from the bustling city of Cochin, which had so many offers in terms of entertainment and shopping. The visit to magnificent Athirappilly Waterfalls was a memorable experience as was the visit to the land of tea gardens-Munnar. Munnar has its Echo point where you will see a lot of people shouting at the top of their voices, to hear what they sound like when reflected from the surrounding mountains! Thekkady was also arguably an exhilarating vacation experience. The Periyar national Park is an amazing sight. The only thing you have to be prepared for is the need to get up at the earliest hour to take the first visit to the jungles. This would be worth it.

My enthusiastic trip to Ilaveezha Poonchira | Gogeo Holidays

December 14, 2016April 25, 2017 admin

Ilaveezha Poonchira trekking is my favorite and most challenging one, because this is the most awaited trek in my life. The greenish beauty of Ilaveezha Poonchira is a main reason of my numerous sleepless nights. I actually don’t know what its reason is, may be its enchanting beauty or its allure climate or something else. In addition the trip was awesome and charm. This is one of the main spot of people coming in Kerala Tour packages for family.I together with my friends have started our journey to Ilaveezha Poonchira from Kottayam; the stunning location is situated just 55 kilometers away from Kottayam. After joined to the Moolamattom road at Muttom and takes place a small journey through it. Then we reach a small town called Kudayathoor, there exist a sign board, directed right which tell us that you can reach Ilaveezha Poonchira after a 7 kilometer journey through the forest.

Ilaveezha Poonchira is one of the lesser known tourist destination in Kerala, and it always perform a resemblance of North east states of India. The geographical and atmospherically structures of Ilaveezha Poonchira is exactly similar as that of Nagaland. The place is perfect for a stunning trekking through Kerala Tour packages. The Name Ilaveezha Poonchira possesses the meaning of “a flower pond where leaves do not fall”.

Also the place is quite windy and leaves are flying through it. You may wish to have some fun and other adventures in to this place with friends as well as family.

Ilaveezha Poonchira spread across thousands of acres and surrounded with three allure hills include Mankunnu, Kodayathoormala and Thonippara. I think you already aware of Ilaveezha Poonchira’s mythical connection; it was closely related to great Indian classic Mahabharata. During the pre historic era, Pandavas live their life with incognito and their beautiful wife Draupadi come to take a bath at a lake, and that one is Ilaveezha Poonchira. Some Devas bewitched by her beauty and trying to fulfill their voyeuristic itch. During the time the king of Deva, come to know about what was going on and artificially create a screen or hill of flowers which prevent Draupadi from such a practice. So the lake form itself a dam and which is free from leaves. There exist another sweet myth related to saint Agastya and all these stories are interesting to heard and know.

During my journey, I really enjoy the wild beauty of Ilaveezha Poonchira lot. The crowd and hot city life is really waste compared with this cool and chilled climate of Ilaveezha Poonchira. The mesmerizing wind caresses the long green grass, and the smile of the grass spread everywhere. To reach the top of the hill only through four wheel vehicle and it may some dangerous. Better to start your journey from morning and trying to finish it before sunset, because the place is home for highly dangerous and poisons insects. I don’t get much more words to explain my entire trekking, because it is really thrilling and more challenging to me. My heavy back bag is irritated me so many times, and I manage to carry it till the last of my journey. So you should keep all the essential things like medicines, dry foods, dry cloths and water up to a limited amount, otherwise you will suffer a lot.

Throughout my trip, my walking stick helps me so much, because it is an essential thing in the entire trip. Huge and slant valley are highly dangerous and without a stick it’s hard to walk. At last we reach the top of the hill, in that single moment I forgot all such pain and effort which we bear, and I feel that I am staying at the top of the world. My eyes can’t recognize any colors, because everywhere filled with white. Sometime later I realize the wild and luscious color of Ilaveezha Poonchira, and mesmerize the beauty of it.
