Here, I share my experience about Kerala, the various tourist places, its people, and everything I came in contact with. Things you’ll need: * Sunscreen * Cotton clothes * Shades * mosquitoes repellent and most important * a sense of wonder and an empty vessel aka your brain. So, I traveled to Kerala in an offseason i.e in June but still, it was so worth it. Okay let’s begin, I took a flight from Delhi to Kochi, my hotel, Orchid Highlands, was in Munnar which is a 3-hour run from Cochin International Airport by car, I booked a pack in whi...
