Kerala - A Gateway to Heaven

  • Periyar wildlife Sanctuary

  • Visit Spice Plantation

  • Backwater cruise in Alleppey

  • Cultural Show at Thekkady

Kumarakom Thekkady Marari

For many travelers, Kerala is South India's most serenely beautiful state. A slender coastal strip is shaped by its layered landscape: almost 600 km of glorious Arabian Sea coast and beaches; a languid network of glistening backwaters; and the spice- and tea-covered hills of the Western Ghats. Just setting foot on this swath of soul-quenching, palm-shaded green will slow your subcontinental stride to a blissed-out amble. Kerala is a world away from the frenzy of elsewhere, as if India had passed through the looking Glass and become an altogether more laid-back place. Besides its famous backwaters, elegant houseboats, ayurvedic treatments and delicately spiced, taste-bud-tingling cuisine, vibrant traditions such as Kathakali plays and temple festivals frequently bring even the smallest villages to life. It's hard to deny Kerala's liberal use of the slogan 'God's Own Country'.

    This was my first trip with WOW, to Croatia and I loved it. Thoroughly enjoyed myself with like minded travelers and an awesome WOW buddy. She coordinated the trip so well and was always available before, during and even after the trip. She handled everything with a smile on her face and it was a great experience. I will definitely travel with WOW again!

    We are all back from a wonderful holiday and but yet, I am not over with it. The hangover remains and I am sure this would remain in my soul lifelong.

    The experience has been out of the world and this was my FIRST SOLO TRIP. I wasn't sure about the trip and how would the trip be managed and taken forward . Whether my decision in taking the trip with WOW was correct or wrong. I can proudly say that if I hadn't taken this decision I would have made the biggest mistake of my life and have had missed this wonderful experience which I would cherish throughout .

    The trip has given me lots of motivations to get fitter in life and more positive. Made wonderful friends for a lifetime and all thanks to wow for the same.

    Kumud you have been a wonderful wow buddy and you have really taken great efforts in holding people together and being a great host and friend.

    Initially I wasn't sure to go to Kurseong since it was not in my bucket list. But I needed a short break in the mountains to unwind and destress myself. I chose WOW club because of their wide range of holiday options. It was a tough choice to choose one among so many options. When we 10 travellers from different parts of India along with Wow buddy Palak met each other at Bagdogra airport, it was just the beginning of a wonderful time which we were to have for the next few days.

    Our accommodation was perfect, located in the best location with ultra scenic views had awesome rooms & a great buffet spread. We had a DJ night, watched a movie, went on to hike in beautiful Pine forest and visited Darjeeling. These experiences we will cherish for life.

    Wow Buddy Palak made sure everyone is comfortable She helped me a lot when I kind of panicked during hiking since it was my first time. She made sure I was ok all the time. Even though the unexpected weather change played spoil sport, but still we all had a great time with this trip and had a lot of fun. Hope to join more of Wow trips in future.

    I have traveled with WOW twice. Last year it was Kerela. Anxious I was, as it was the first time I was traveling with unknown people. Gathering all the courage, I decided to go for it. The only words I need to put my feelings and views about this trip would be tears in my eyes when I was boarding my return flight. WOW made traveling so easy and wonderful for solo women, especially when the world is not a safe place anymore. Budget friendly, luxurious hotels, comfortable transport, amazing WOW buddies... A super awesome package. Pink evenings are just cherry on top. About Sri Lanka - The destination was mesmerizing and breath taking. Snorkeling experience helped me conquer my fears. Antakshari rounds, dance parties, chilling on the beach, late night talks, food tasting sessions made this trip so memorable. Thank you WOW for giving me a new hope. Looking forward to many more trips!

  • Kerala is not just about 'selfies'. Wanderers posing for this 'Wefie' on the pink evening. WOW Pink evenings are more for the purpose of Social values and gospel principles, displaying talents and enjoying different kinds of fun and activities.
  • Kerala is an excellent place for getting to know elephants, take elephant rides, bathe them and get showered by them.
  • The story of Kerala is closely linked to the story of the world’s eagerness for spices. Because of the wealth this land possessed, people of various countries, religions and races arrived, for trade.
  • Just being a beach bum at Marari beach. The entire beach is flanked by tall palm trees with golden-hued sand and pristine waters that are enjoyed by everyone. Despite being a typical beach the aura surrounding the place will mesmerise you. If you visit here in August you might also be able to witness the unique snake boat races and a host of other adventure activities if you love to take it rough.
  • Kathakali is the most well known dance drama from the south In­dian state of Kerala. The word Kathakali literally means "Story-Play". It is known for its large, elaborate makeup and costumes as you can see here- a wanderer posing with the dancers.
