How Many of These Experiences Have You Ticked Off In Kerala?

There is more to Kerala than backwaters, spice trails and tea plantations. Hidden beaches and quaint hamlets offer an insight into lesser known getaways in the region.

Visit Chembra peak in Wayanad, the highest in the region and is reachable only by foot from Meppady. Adjacent to this is the heart-shaped Chembra lake. Both these sites require seeking prior permission from forest authorities before entering. Located in Alappuzah’s backwater of Kuttanadu, the floating market called Triveni Super Store makes an appearance. It sells electronic appliances to victuals at a subsidised price and has a capacity of holding not more than 20 people on board at a time. Valara, located in between Neriamangalam on the eastern border of Ernakulam district houses a pristine waterfall.
