Honeymoon is the
first-ever journey together of a recently married husband and wife. When
exploring a place together, they are actually getting a chance to explore each
other. Sparks are supposed to fly between them and it is in fact the most
beautiful phase of married life. Usually, a honeymoon is considered as spending
some quality time in any scenically beautiful place together. But then, how
about coupling it with some adventure too? Now you will be thinking that I am
talking about visiting multiple destinations and that it’s certainly going to
cost you quite a lot of pennies. But no, I'm talking about the 'God's Own Country',
Kerala, the land that is blessed with majestic mountains, pristine backwaters
and serene beaches. In fact, Kerala being one of the smallest states, you
will be able to cover all of the varied landscapes in a short span of time and
this makes Kerala, a perfect destination for honeymooners. You will be able to
trek, swim, surf, go on long beach walks and even enjoy some adventure sports
together, all the while unearthing a new trait of your partner. No wonder, Kerala honeymoon packages are the most sought after in
the tourism industry.
Although there are a lot of fascinating
activities available for the newlywed couples in Kerala, the best ones are
listed below :
1. Create Some Honeymoon Souvenirs in Munnar
Munnar, the tea
garden of Kerala is the most popular hill station in the Western Ghats. The
scenic beauty of Munnar is beyond words that its visitors simply get
spellbound. The hills overlaid with emerald green tea shrubs is such a
beautiful view and the best way to enjoy it is by going on a walk through its
valleys and meadows hand in hand, admiring the natural beauty of it. In fact,
it would also give a chance to click plenty of pictures that are going to last
as some honeymoon souvenirs. Apart from the alluring hills, Munnar is also
blessed with many other tourist attractions such as the Echo Point, Eravikulam
National Park, Mattupetty Dam and Tata Tea Museum.
2. Catch a Glimpse of Both of You Inside a Perfectly Heart-Shaped Pond
Have you ever thought
that the mother nature would carve a heart-shaped pond in one of its tall
mountains where clouds float aimlessly and mist rolls in and out? The Chembra Peak
in Wayanad is literally a wonder. You can embark on a trekking tour with your
partner and midway through you will see this beautiful pond studded into the
lush green valley. The water in it is so clear that it gives out life-like
reflections. You and your significant other can definitely throw some poses
upon the mirror-like pond and have some fun time. However, Wayanad is not just
about the Chembra Peak, being rich in flora and fauna have given rise to some
very interesting bird sanctuaries and national parks too. Kuruvadweep, Pookot
Lake, Edakkal Caves are the other spots worth visiting.
3. Cruising the Backwaters
Kerala has become
epitome to backwaters. Ashtamudi and Vembanad are the most famous ones. The
backwaters flow through the centre of Kerala all through its length. The silver
waters keep sparkling in the sunlight and the lush greenery in its banks add
colour to it. Also, it often seems that the birds are a little extra chatty
around the backwaters that their chirping keeps dominating the otherwise quiet
backwaters. Ashtamudi is the one to visit if your tour starts from
Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. In fact, in a birds-eye-view, the
Ashtamudi Lake looks like an octopus with its eight hands spread wide. In Sanskrit,
‘Ashta’ means eight and ‘Mudi’ means cone. Thus the eight coned lake is named
as Ashtamudi. However, if you are starting your tour from Cochin International
Airport, Vembanad backwaters would be the convenient one to visit.
Nevertheless, both of them are so charming that people love sailing quietly
through a houseboat through the backwaters occasionally taking note of the
sleepy villages and getting replenished by the cool crisp breezes blowing from
it. The houseboat usually halts its journey for some time in the noon giving a
chance for the tourists to stroll through the laid back villages and even try
some locally prepared seafood in toddy shops that are very common in such
places. Toddy is actually an indigenous alcoholic drink fermented out of
coconut palms. You can try some toddy also if you like it. But one thing to
note now is that locals around Ashtamudi and Vembanad are so used to tourists
that there will be small shops selling souvenirs, street food stalls etc. and
it may seem a little touristy. However, if you prefer a rather untouched spot,
then Valiyaparamba is your solution. Valiyaparamba is actually an Island in Northern
Kerala with backwaters on one side and beach on the other. The Island is very
sparsely populated and its beauty and serenity still remain so unblemished.
4. Take
a Dip in the Niagra of India
The enchanting waterfall
of Athirappilly is nicknamed as the 'Niagra of India'. The vast waterfalls will
definitely struck you in awe and the cool crisp waters flowing out of it will
tempt you instantly to take a dip in it. However, the best way to make the most
out of this spot is to book a tree house facing these waterfalls and enjoy the
rumble, roar and view of the bewitching waterfalls. Just imagine how beautiful
it would be for the honeymooners to wake up to the magnificent view of milky
white water flowing amidst the thick forests.
5. Have
a Candlelight Dinner at the Beach
Kerala is dotted with
ample number of beaches all through its west coast. Kovalam and Varkala are the
two beaches that are flooded with tourists and Marari Beach is the one that is
gaining popularity at a fast pace. There are also many other beaches like
Kappad, Bekal, Payyambalam etc. but no matter what all the beaches in Kerala
have a special charm and grace. Soft beige sand meeting deep blue water watched
down by coconut tree is the best place to enjoy a quiet candle light dinner
with your beloved. Such a dinner may not be included in all the Kerala tour
packages and you would probably need to add it at extra cost. However, Holiday
Mango Travel, a very eminent tour operator provides Kerala honeymoon
package including candlelight dinners at the beach.
6. Enjoy Some Adrenalin Rush
Vagamon is yet another hill station in Kerala
which offers adventure activities like ballooning and paragliding. You could
fly over the green velvety hills of Vagamon and enjoy the wonderful view.
So if you are looking for an amazing honeymoon,
just approach a tour operator specialised in formulating Kerala tour
packages and talk to them about ways to make your honeymoon magical.
