When most people think of India, they may not expect the scenic diversity the country offers. Sandy beaches, snow-capped mountains, valleys covered in a dense misty fog, thick warm jungles, and hot deserts. The variety in this single country covers almost every possible ecosystem the world can offer. For visitors who love adventure or nature photography, this is the prime destination to consider for your vacation, honeymoon or get-away. The best way to experience some of the key locations within Kerala is with a taxi tour. This allows you an entire day to plan your own treks, visits and sight-seeing before returning to your starting destination.
Kerala’s Wildlife and Jungles
Kerala India is home to a variety of unique animals and plants that you cannot find anywhere else in the world. Many of the animals found here naturally are endangered or threatened. To protect them, various sanctuaries have been established across the state to allow them to live peacefully while providing visitors a way to see them up close and personal. This includes Sloth bears, Asiatic bears, Indian Elephants, Tigers, Hornbills, and much more. Plant life here is no less diverse, or endangered, and the same can be said for insects. Some of the world’s rarest Butterfly species can be found in India including the Brown Onyx Hairstreak and The Empress.
Beaches and Marine Adventures
If staying on dry land is not to your liking, how about adventuring under the waves? The ocean around Kerala is still largely untouched and is home to a large number of unique marine animals, mollusks, coral reefs and plants. Divers can mingle with sharks, octopus, whales and dozens of fish in their natural habitats any day of the year. Be sure to bring a good underwater camera because the photo opportunities are endless.
Fine Dining and Unique Cuisine
Adventure comes in many forms, and experiencing the unique culinary offerings of Kerala can be no different. Curry, appam with stew, dosa and many other local dishes should be on the menu for tourists to try. Seafood is also popular with fresh fish and mussels available throughout the year at a wide range of restaurants. If you want to immerse yourself in the local customs, popular street food along many city streets can include bhatura, idlis, uttapum and dal vada. While the names may be strange to visitors, it is definitely something that should be tried at least once.
