8. Kerala
Kerala
is the best state for tourism-related activities
Alleppey
(backwaters, greenery, more greenery)
Idukki
(scenic mountains and my personal favourite)
Wayne
(Trekking, waterfalls, prehistoric caves and much more)
If you are comfortable enough to stay a little
away from townships, you can easily get good rooms for less than 500. Best places
to visit in India with friends. If it's going more than 500, you
are not doing it right. If you guys are bachelors - 250 per day
Travelling:-
Kerala has a well connected Bus service facility which consists of both private
and govt owned buses. You can roam around anywhere in public transport. For the
short commute, you can call autorickshaws and insist them to put on the meter.
And don't forget to use Ferry service once you reach Kochi and Alleppey. Ferry
service is very cheap. I insist you use Public transport. ( 200 per day if
public 500 per day if private)
Don't
visit Kerala in summer. It will be very suffocating and can be very unpleasant
to those who are hailing from the north.
Try
to visit Kerala when in the time of exotic festivals like Thrissur Pooram,
Kochi biennale, Theyyam, Kochin Carnival etc.
