Today, I went on a trip to Kerala, the southernmost state of India, with my family. It was a long-awaited trip, and we were all excited to explore the state's natural beauty and culture. We landed at Cochin International Airport in the morning, and from there, we drove to our hotel in Munnar, a hill station in the Western Ghats.
The journey to Munnar was breathtaking, with lush green tea gardens and misty mountains surrounding us on all sides. We reached our hotel by midday, and after some rest and lunch, we went out to explore the town. We visited the Tea Museum and learned about the history of tea production in the region. The aroma of fresh tea leaves filled the museum, and we even got to taste some delicious tea.
In the evening, we went on a short trek to a nearby waterfall. The cool breeze and the sound of water falling from a height were incredibly refreshing. We clicked some pictures and spent some time admiring the beauty of nature.
Tomorrow, we plan to visit the Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr, and also take a ride on the famous houseboats in Alleppey. Kerala is indeed God's own country, and I cannot wait to explore more of it.
