drive down to kerala.........
Kerala is ofcourse a beautiful place, everyone knows that, there are amazing beaches like Kovalam, Cochin, the famous backwaters like in Alleppey, Kumarakom, the beautiful mountains of Wayanad......
Of all this i have been to Calicut the gateway city of the Malabar coast, this is also the place where Vasco De Gama landed on his arrival into india. Around 14 km. away is the beach resort of Kadavu where we had gone for our 'honeymoon'. Kadavu and Calicut are in Northern Kerala, here the backwaters are different from those in the South, because they do not extend into sandy shores on the same level as the rivers, but to hilly land. So, the exciting part here was our romm was on a hilly area and overlooked the backwaters!!! From Kadavu we had also gone on to Wayanad, about 2-3 hrs drive from Calicut. Wayanad is the mountanious area of Kerala and has beautiful plantations. Here there is another reort called the Vythri Resort, again an amazing place (we had a tough time deciding which one to pick, but since Wayanad would be cold in Jan - when we got married, we picked Kadavu by the backwaters). Calicut also has a good beach. The interesting part is you can come to Kerala from Bangalore and do a good amount of sightseeing on the way. The route from Bangalore will be via Mysore -Wayanad - Calicut and then you can go further south of Kerala.
PS - Another good place to stay is Kappad Beach Resort @ Calicut. Kappad Beach is where Vasco landed - the picture here is Kappad Beach
