There\u2019s a lot to see and do all over the state.

We started at Marari Beach Resort on the Arabian Sea coast, then drove up into the cool, fragrant Cardamom Hills to visit Spice Village in Thekkady \u2013 and Periyar Tiger Reserve. Then, we drove back down to the Backwaters of Kumarakom to stay at legendary Coconut Lagoon before heading into the historic port city of Fort Cochin \/ Kochi and the iconic Brunton Boatyard hotel. Our final stop was the show-stopper: we were the only guests at a private, royal retreat \u2013 the former palace of an erstwhile king \u2013 called Chittoor Kottaram.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/21-DSCF9017.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/21-DSCF9017.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/21-DSCF9017-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/21-DSCF9017-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Link to the article : <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/breathedreamgo.com\/best-hotels-resorts-kerala-india\" target=\"_blank\">Breathedreamgo<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala is often called \u201cGod\u2019s own country.\u201d It\u2019s a beautiful, tropical state in South India with palm-tree lined beaches, an extensive system of Backwaters, rolling green hills, wildlife and tiger reserves, and much, much more.&nbsp;Kerala is a soft landing&nbsp;for first time visitors to India, and a gentle respite from some of the more hectic parts [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":976,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[120,32,121,123,125,126],"tags":[39,136],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/970"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=970"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/970\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":981,"href":"https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/970\/revisions\/981"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cghearth.com\/earthcalling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
