It’s the most amazing travel destination because it has everything from serene beaches to scenic hills, from tea & spice plantations to dense forests & calm backwaters. It’s located on the Malabar Coast, South India.

This is dedicated to Lord Krishna and had breakfast near local south Indian restaurant having Masala dosa and throat calming tea.

It’s really an amazing experience to explore the forest on elephant we clicked and posed. And one of the things impressed me the most there when the Elephant rider said he is pursuing an English honors and work here as a part time worker.
