Kerala is renowned primarily for its ecotourism endeavors and attractive backwaters. It is a favorite tourist spot for tourists. But you should never miss the five offbeat things in Kerala.
Staying in a Tree House
Thekkady is one of the outstanding tree houses in Kerala where you can encounter nature experience from within the comfortable living quarters of a resort. Located near the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, the terrace of a Rangerwood's cottage is a birdwatcher's heaven to say.
Giant Swing
Dare to jump for the giant swing, situated in Varkala, 50 metres from Aaliyirakkm Beach, Oceano By Trouvaille features lodging with a cafeteria, free personal parking, a park and a private beach site. It has proximity to Varkala Beach, Janardhanaswamy Temple and Varkala Cliff. The nearest airport is Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, 35 km from Oceano By Trouvaille.
Sunrise at Kolukkumalai
Catching the sunrise from this cliff top was a different experience. The only mode to get there is by a 4WD Jeep as there is no good road.
This site is at the top of Kolukkumalai peak and well within the tea estate. The ride is not appropriate for children less than four and people above the age of 60. After reaching the parking lot, have a trek for 10 mins in complete darkness. A torch would be helpful or use cell phones. However, you will forget all this ordeal once you see the cloud bed kissing the cliffs of western ghats and the stars in the sky. The sunrise is stunning, and the views are sensational.
Glass Bridge
The first Glass Bridge experience was built in South India, situated at Wayanad, for an outstanding fun period. Experience the ultimate joy as you step over a tropical rainforest that offers a 360-degree panorama of the green surroundings.
Riding a Shikara
Shikara is a little boat that costs around 2400/per boat for 3 hours, irrespective of the number of individuals. You can negotiate for a more reasonable rate and time. If you want to encounter a backwater journey for a few hours, then it is suggested to take Shikara, which is cheaper than houseboats. Generally, it will have six chairs and a small bed. In the evening, you may have a stunning sunset view surrounded by water, and you can cover it in pictures. The preferred time is 3 pm – 6 pm. Recommend to arrange your lunch before or after the ride (lunch not contained in the tariff). The boat will pause in between for tea and snacks. The crowd will be more on weekends and holidays.
