Great article. I have been to almost all the places mentioned here and I must say that Kerala is the most beautiful place I have ever visited. I went on a 4 day trip to Kerala and got an opportunity to visit the Ashtamudi backwaters. The backwaters of Kerala are a must-visit destination if you are touring Kerala.

These are good places to visit but i think its overcrowded in tourist season . I would like to add Andman & nocobar island to the list as a lot of people don’t know that it is the part of india and a perfect relaxing destination for beach and sea life lovers. It is often compare to maldives and it is much more cheaper . Apart from these Kerala is my favorite destination . Thank you for putting up a great content . Thank you
