30 Pictures That Will Inspire a Visit to Kerala

April 22, 2017 by Claire Filed Under: Asia, India 4 Comments

Do you want to visit India but think it's too crowded? Here are 30 pictures to inspire you to visit calming and relaxing Kerala

When I tell people that I’ve been to India I often get asked if it’s as crowded and undeveloped as they’ve imagined. It seems to be that people see pictures from the same areas of India and assume the whole country is like that. Last year I was lucky to spend 2 weeks traveling around the state of Kerala and I absolutely loved it. I want to inspire more people to visit this beautiful place, known as Gods Own Country, so here are 30 pictures from my trip that I think will do just that.

    I lived in Bangalore and Goa for a year and I did see some beautiful vistas but also the misery and overcrowded streets of the city.
