AROUND COCHIN - KERALA

 KERALA   has a unique terrain characterized by high mountains (Western Ghats ) in the east, hilly midlands and the shimmering coastline of the Arabian sea in the west. There are sudden changes in weather, landscape and vegetation as one travels over this undulating landscape and from west to east.

 According to legend it was Lord Parasuram, who threw his axe from Gokarnam in the north to Kanyakumari ( Cape Comorin ) in the south to reclaim the land for performing Tapaz; ( meditation and repentance ). Kerala has a very fragile eco-system that finds it very difficult to adjust itself to the adverse effects of global warming; sudden climatic changes, and above all to the vagaries of human nature.  Therefore we are very careful in preserving the pristine nature of Kerala, while designing tour packages and stay. As a matter of policy, our primary concerns are the integrity of the human being; the well being of the society at large; and the preservation of the environment.

There are many places around Kochi, which are easily accessible and are within a couple of hours drive from Kochi;  viz. Alleppey, Kumarakom, Munnar, Thekkady, Kodungalloor, Trichur, Palghat and Thodupuzha. For more distant places like Calicut, Canannore, Trivandrum, and Cape Comorin, train services are available, which are frequent, convenient and cheap.
