Hello Naseem, welcome to IM

Please don't misuse the poll fucnction, but you are welcome to ask your questions.

Kerala has many faces, let us know what kind of thing you want to see: that would help.

naseem · Nov 21st, 2006, 22:57

As its my foirst time I didnt know that i have use the poll section

Nick-H · Nov 21st, 2006, 23:00

No problem. Thing is, just make an ordinary thread, rather than a poll, to ask your questions.

Browse the site, though, you'll find many of them answered already!

Almoraboy · Nov 22nd, 2006, 00:20

wayanad is a small place. but it is very very beautiful...in fact, the most beautiful place i saw in kerala. then u can go to munnar if u liek the hills.

Almoraboy · Nov 22nd, 2006, 00:29

continuinf with the previous post...actually i had to rush to answr a phone call...u can try to climb the chembra peak in wayanad. it is a district of very small towns. but it is very very very green, has some good hills and waterfalls and is also borderign the ooty district. there are also some wildlife sanctuaries. as for getting there from bangalore, all the buses going from bangalore to kozhikode/calicut pass through wayanad.in october 2005 i had gone with my friends to wayanad on a bike trip (t'was a nice experience, but we were over enthusiastic and i ended up with an accident). so u shld be careful while driving around the roads in that area since they r pretty serpentine

Naseem, what are your interests? Kerala has beaches, backwater cruises, temples, culture/tradtion/arts, ayurveda, elephants/wildlife, etc.. Depending on what you are interested in, we may be able to advise better. Try some of the website for some background:

thanks for some advice. backwater cruises,culture, tradition,ayurveda elephants and wildlife are my priorities. Have a terrible backpain where doctors here cant help me. will ayurvedi massage help me pls advice.

Nick-H · Nov 25th, 2006, 00:56

That's a tough one.... If you are interested in Ayurveda then you should go for a course of treatment. But you're not going to know what's needed or for how long until you have consulted an ayurvedic doctor.

naseem · Nov 25th, 2006, 01:02

where can a find an ayurvedic doctor in kerala.

Nick-H · Nov 25th, 2006, 01:20

Everywhere!

It would be better to ask where you can find a good one --- many hotels of any size will have a 'treatment centre'. Some actually set themselves up as ayurvedic resorts, with the intention of attracting a high percentage of visitors seeking treatment.

But for any more on this, I'd better hope that one of the Kerala members comes along.

kerala has hills ,beaches,culture, great food and beautiful small towns..
u cant visit the places according to the number of days u have..
if u going from bangalore u can go to wayanad(overnight bus journey from bangalore)which is forested and hilly then proceed to kochi (dutch palace,synagogue etc) then u can go furthur down to alleppy (backwaters), munnar(hill station),periyar wildlife scanctuary , kovallam(beaches)...these are the popular places.. other than that there are many small n non touristy but beautiful places...there are lotta ayurvedic centers too but be careful about the fake ones...

happy travelling
