Kerala Backwaters is a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast in the Kerala state of India. Known for its scenic beauty, Kerala Backwaters is a must-visit place to relax and unwind. You can opt for a houseboat ride and cruise through the tranquil backwaters while enjoying the mesmerizing views of the coconut and palm trees. The backwaters are also famous for Ayurvedic therapies and spas that provide rejuvenating experiences.
For the second day, head towards the sandy beaches of Goa to continue your relaxation. Goa offers a range of beaches from secluded and peaceful to lively and exciting. Spend your day sunbathing, swimming in the ocean, taking long walks on the beach, and sipping on fresh coconut water. At night you can go to a beachside restaurant to relish the famous seafood and enjoy the sea breeze. If you are looking for something more adventurous, try out some water sports like parasailing, jet skiing, and banana boat rides.
If you have more time, you can explore other famous beaches in Goa and try some sightseeing in Kerala, like visiting the tea plantations or taking a walk in the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. If you have less time, you can skip the water sports or dine at a less expensive restaurant. Make sure to book your Kerala Backwaters houseboat ride in advance and check the monsoon season in Goa before visiting.
