Top 5 Places to visit in Kerala
Located in the southern part of India, Kerala is a state that is known for its natural beauty, spices, and tea. Geographically, Kerala enjoys a prime location bordered by the Lakshadweep Sea to the west, the Arabian Sea to the southwest, and the Western Ghats to the east.
 
The history of Kerala is a record of the area's interactions with various external forces over the centuries. The early history of Kerala is shrouded in mythology and lacks concrete evidence. The Mahabharata, an ancient Indian epic, mentions the region by the name "Keralaputra" (son of Kerala). Many ancient Indian texts, such as the Ramayana, mention the region by various other names, such as "Karnatapura" (the land of Karnata), "Gomedapura" (the land of Gomeda), and "Kurukshetra" (the land of the Kuru dynasty). The earliest written record of the region is found in a 3rd-century BC rock inscription of the Edicts of Ashoka. The inscription, located at the village of Edakkal, mentions the region as "Ekamandalam" (One Lake). The region was also known to the ancient Greeks and Romans. Ptolemy, who authored the 2nd century geographer "Geography", mentions the region as "Cerobothra" (Kerobokan). The region was also known to the Chinese, who recorded it in the 7th century "Book of Liang" as "Qiuci".

Kerala is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. It was voted the "Best Indian Destination" by the Lonely Planet Travel Guide in 2017.

Munnar

Situated on the banks of the Madupetti and Nallathanni rivers, Munnar is a popular tourist destination and a popular hill station located in the Idukki district of Kerala, South India. As per legend, the name Munnar is believed to mean "three rivers". It is a picturesque town situated at the confluence of three mountain ranges—the Eastern Ghats, the Nilgiri Hills, and the Western Ghats. The story of Munnar is deeply entwined with the story of the tea plantations in the region. The first tea bushes in the region were planted by the British in the late 19th century. Munnar quickly became known for its high-quality tea, and the region’s tea plantations continue to be a major source of income for the locals. The town is considered to be the major centre for the production of tea in India.

One of the interesting facts about Munnar is that the region around Munnar was once known as the "Kurinji Nadu", or the land of the Kurinji flower. The Kurinji flower blooms only once every 12 years, and the last time it bloomed was in 2006. Today, Munnar holds a significant place in Kerala tourism and is certainly a popular tourist destination thanks to its stunning natural scenery and cool climate. The town is located at an altitude of 1,600 meters (5,250 feet) and is surrounded by rolling hills, tea plantations, and waterfalls.

Wayanad

Clearly known for its lush green forests, the wildlife, the plantations, the hills, the waterfalls, and the temples, Wayanad is one of the most popular destinations in Kerala. Wayanad is derived from Vayal Nadu, meaning "the land of paddy fields".

The recorded history of Wayanad dates back to the 10th century AD. The region was then known as Mayakshetra (Maya's land). It was ruled by the Pazhassi dynasty, who were the rulers of the Malabar Coast. The dynasty came to an end in the 18th century. In 1792, Wayanad was annexed by the British East India Company. It was made a part of the Malabar District. In 1956, it was transferred to the newly formed Kerala State.

The district is now spread over an area of 2,142 km² and is bordered by the districts of Kozhikode to the northwest, Malappuram to the west, and Kannur to the north. To the east and south, Wayanad borders the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The district was formed on November 1, 1980 as the 12th district in Kerala, with the headquarters at the town of Kalpetta. The district is divided into three taluks: Kalpetta, Mananthavady, and Sulthan Bathery. The district is also home to the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, the Pookode Lake, and the Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary.
