When you land in Kochi, and have family functions to attend to, you make the most of it by finding good spots at drivable distances around.

So, the next spot on our list ended up being Paravoor.

Although we had left Kochi with the intention of stopping at Kollam, but did not find the place interesting enough and settled for Paravoor.

Considering it's just about 150 kms away from Kochi, the drive took us approx.4 hours ( courtesy the bad, and mostly single lane roads) to reach.

But once you reach, it's all good and relaxing.

Trust us, you will enjoy the place more after driving for 4 hours!

We had opted for a Lake view villa, and it ended up being a great choice. It consists of a Living Room and a bedroom with attached balcony, and a courtyard.

They also have a villa with private pool.
