Wayanad is one of the best tourist destinations in Kerala. We planned to explore Wayanad during the summer of 2015(April). Most of the places involve heavy walking. So, be prepared. People who are not keen on sightseeing but like to enjoy nature can also opt for it. What to Expect: Wayanad is a place to enjoy lakes, waterfalls, caves, and small treks. There are only a few tourist spots all throughout Wayanad. So, we included three national parks in three different directions that connect Wayanad with TamilNadu and Karnataka. Not to be missed: Edakkal Caves, Irupu Falls, Kuruva Island and Kanthanpara waterfalls. Meenmuty, Soochipara and Kanthanpara are the main falls here. As we visited Wayanad during the off-season, many waterfalls were dry. So, we visited only the Kanthanpara Falls. Of the three, people say that Kanthanpara Falls is easily accessible and safe for kids to enjoy. Duration: The tourist places are scattered across Wayanad. So, it is better to plan it for 3 to 5 days wi...

  The moment we informed others that we are planning to spend five days in Vizag, the first question everyone asked was " What is there in Vizag to spend five days?" . To be honest, we felt it tight by the end of our trip. Though Vizag as such doesn’t have many places to visit, there are places in and around Vizag to make the stay wonderful. For people who are interested in an ancient ruined sites, this is a good place to visit. Places Not To Be Missed: While in Vizag, it is better to combine Araku and Borra Caves and a few rare temples near Vizag. So do not miss Borra Caves, Katiki Waterfalls, Srikurmam, and Srimukhalingam while in Vizag.  Stay : Dolphin Hotel An Awesome hotel with good rooms and a lovely spread in the buffet. They arranged for excellent takeaways with fruit salad for our Borra trip(even at odd hours). Travel desk facility is also available. Local and outstation trips can be booked at a fair price. We liked our stay at this hotel. We did not have food anyw...

Do you know that Kochi is an Archipelago of many islands???? We did not know it until we decided to visit Kochi for our Vacation.   Cochin  includes various Islands( almost 10) and the main ones are the mainland (Ernakulam),  Fort   Kochi , Vypin, Willington and  Bolgatty   Island . Though they are not exotic like Andaman and Nicobar Islands, people go about like they live in different areas in a city connected via boats. The Kochi  Islands  are well connected via roads and boats. It takes longer to reach the other islands through road so people mainly use the facilities of boat here. There are boat jetties(boat station) in most of the islands. To the great surprise, the ticket costs only 4 rupees to go to another island in a local boat. There is no return ticket like our local trains in chennai. For the return, one needs to get the ticket from the specific island. Kochi is not a big place. So, one can combine it with other tourist places ne...
