As culturally diverse as India is, the South of India is no exception. Dravidians came to this part of India while the Aryans conquered the northern part. They held this region for a long time until the British colonized it. This peninsular region holds much appreciated beauty in the form of tourist attractions, and many go to explore this beauty with various South India tour packages. The rich history, paired with the many natural beauties to be seen in Kerala, make it a truly majestic holiday destination.
The Malayali Magic
Kerala remains one of the most famous tourist destinations for people from all over the country and around the world. It may be the backwater lagoons or the hills of Munnar, or the epithet of “God’s Own Country” that attracts them. Or maybe it’s the jungles and forests, which boast a wide variety of species of plants and wildlife. Whatever the reason for coming, Kerala remains a must-visit destination for anyone taking South India tour packages.
Hills of the Gods
Located just beside the heart of the Western Ghats, Munnar remains a favorite tourist spot for those interested in South India tour packages. The terraced tea gardens and the green never cease to be breathtaking. These are only some of the attractions that Munnar holds. Moreover, the natural beauty of the place, such as the Cheeyapara waterfall that you see on the way to Munnar, the Eravikulam National Park where the Nilgiri Tahr, a goat endemic to this region, reside; all are special places to visit. The ornithological wonders of this place, such as the Nilgiri Flycatcher and the Whitebellied Blue Robin, are sights to relish.
Vallam Kali
The name may not be very well known, but it is common enough to be seen in some Bollywood films. Vallam Kali, which literally means “boat game,” is the traditional race of canoes held in South India. The most famous of these “Vallam Kali” is called the Nehru Trophy Boat Race and takes place in the Alappuzha region of Kerala. Aranmula Boat race is another such race in which a long boat is hauled forward with oars by a large number of men. Catch a Vallam Kali with South Indian tour packages.
Brackish Waters of the Lagoon
The backwaters are unique to Kerala. The traditional wood-made houseboats resting in the recesses of the backwaters are a common enough site. A day spent in these houseboats, available for hire, are a memory that most people keep in their hearts forever. The soothing sound of the houseboat gliding through the water remains with them for a long time.
All these wonders are for you if Kerala is on your list of South India Tour Packages.
