Kottayam Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The drive from the beaches to the mountains is about 4 hours. It is dotted with small picturesque villages. The landscape and the fauna changes from palm trees to rubber to spice & tea gardens.
The backwaters of Kerala truly is one of the most magnificens placera I ever visited!
The lush greens are just mesmerizing
#AquaTrove
This place is much much more beautiful than how it looks in this particular picture. The perfectly round star and the mesmerizing water holding that particular boat and life aboard!

#bruisedpassports
If you ever get a chance to experience the backwaters of Kerala , go for it blindfolded as you won't know what surprise is in store for you . This one is not a painting !
