Raine Navarro once said, “We have nothing to lose and a world to see.” I believe that the world is the greatest creation, and among its many places, any tour is beautiful. But what makes a journey complete is knowing that your final destination is home.
If you are a Keralite, you might already know how special your home is. But for an outsider looking to explore, Kerala simply has to be on your bucket list.
Must-Visit Spots in Kerala
· Munnar
Munnar is a stunning hill station that is well-known for its cool climate, misty valleys, and rolling tea plantations. Spot the rare Nilgiri Tahr at Eravikulam National Park, sip freshly brewed chai after a tea-making demo at the Tea Museum, or glide across Mattupetty Dam’s sparkling waters with epic views. Go Around the Globe offers Munnar Kerala tour packages. Munnar acts as a soft blanket over the Ghats of Kerala. It is ideal for nature lovers as well as adventure seekers.
· Alappuzha
A trip to Kerala is incomplete without trying water sports, especially if you miss out on boat rides and water adventures. In Kerala, the water adventures are very famous, and the locals enjoy them with a high spirit. The experience of Alappuzha gives you an adrenaline rush. Alappuzha offers houseboat cruises, Vembanad lake, Nehru trophy snake boat race, and Kuttanad traditions. A stay in a houseboat (kettuvallam) is a must-try experience. Alappuzha's cuisine has a dedicated fan base that always craves more.

Kerala, a land that is growing and developing at a rapid pace, is becoming a metro hub. Kochi is a blend of history, culture, and modernity, offering key attractions like Fort Kochi, which is a landmark of the place with its colonial architecture and Chinese fishing nets. Marine Drive is a scenic waterfront promenade and a paradise for food lovers, offering an exquisite spread of street food and restaurants, which is a must-try when visiting Kerala.

If you are someone who would like to visit Kerala, there is a hidden gem. One such gem is Kumarakom. Nestled along the shimmering Vembanad Lake, this peaceful haven is home to the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, where nature puts on a show. Imagine spotting graceful Siberian cranes, elegant herons, snowy egrets, and flashes of blue kingfishers darting through the trees. For bird lovers, it’s pure happiness.
