Discovering another gem in India! This happens to be my mother's hometown, and I'm grateful that I know the local language. If you're into nature and crave some incredible South Indian cuisines, Kerala is a must-visit. My time in Kochi, Munnar, Alleppey, and Varkala was absolutely fantastic — so much so that I ended up canceling my flight tickets to extend my trip. The entire state is a lush green paradise waiting to be explored.
