Reflections of GOD's Own Country ; Kerala

Travel Video, Kerala, India .A trip to Aryankavu, Thenmala, Alappuzha Backwaters, Kochi and Wayanad with my friends Dr.John, Dr.Kiran and Chinthu.
The journey starts with traveling in the historic Kollam-Sengottai Metre gauge Train.On the way ,the famous "Pathimoonnu kannara palam"[13 Arch Bridge]is a very beautifull sight,The bridge which was constructed during the British regeim using surki construction,A period when cement was not in use.The bridge with its 13 arches still holds strong one of Indias oldest mountain rails (Meter Guage)which once used to be the main trade route between Quilon(kerala)and Shenkottah(Tamil Nadu).The Aryankavu tunnel was longest in South India (900 mtrs) until the Konkan tunnel created, this links Aryankavu with Bhagavathipuram in Tamil Nadu.

Alappuzha Backwaters is one of the exotic backwater sites of India. Washed by the Arabian Sea, interlocked by a number of canals and bridges, this tiny marketplace is also famous for its Nehru Trophy boat race held every year

Our final destination was Wayanad.One might need a week's time to see enough of Wayanad. We had only three days there .The Places of Interest in wayanad are
1) Pookot Lake: Situated some 20kms from Kalpetta, this lake is ideal to visit in the evenings just when the Sun falls behind the adjoining mountains.
2) Soochipara falls:
The best pick of our wayanad trip. There can be no better camera than the human eye, to capture all that the falls offered. We were welcomed by a gorgeous arc of rainbow. We were lucky to find a small bed of rocks that was shallow enough to let us have a dip. The water was so pure and fresh, that we never felt like stepping out of the water if not for the darkness.
3) Kuruva Island: 950 acres of ever green forest on the tributaries of east flowing river Kabani, is an ideal picnic spot, far away from the disturbances of city life. The island is uninhabited. Rare species of birds, orchids and herbs are the sovereigns of this supernal kingdom. It is 17 Kms. east of Mananthavady and 40 kms. north west of Sulthan Bathery.
4)Kanthanpara Waterfalls: Relatively smaller than Sentinal Rock Waterfall and rather less frequented, Kanthanpara and its surroundings are nonetheless very pleasant. An easy hike away from the main road, it is perfect for picnic

@KHindustani Country here refers to COUNTRYSIDE. it doesn't mean another nation. Piss off....

[KHindustani]

stop promoting states as country. This creates partial environment in peoples mind. Kerla is one of the states of the country India. Any state in India should be strictly mentioned along with th ecountry's name. The TV adds should be banned for this, unless they correct the slogans.
