Our Kerala trip

An awesome trip to Kerala,  it's been 10 years since myself and hubby visited kerala .  it wasn't pre-planned trip but just happened within 4days. We travelled from Kozhikode to Thiruvananthapuram.  We took 1200 photos, ate fresh fish, visited many temples - some of them are Guruvayur,Kulathupuzha temple,Anantha Padmanabhaswamy temple  and Attukal devi temple.

We went to Tharavad house at Nunjaloor...This house is over 150 years old built by great great grandfather. In late 1800's many houses in the neighbourhood were burnt during hindu-muslim fight, but this house survived.  Even today the annual rituals and ceremony for the forefather are conducted here. 




This house was built by great grandfather, where my father grew up.


Will you believe it...my father is 65years old and climbing the jackfruit tree, he is relishing his childhood days. Ofcourse we got an awesome sweet jackfruit.

Temple elephant... We went to Elephant Sanctuary and got a chance to see elephant parade.
Its so much of fun watching my boy having fun with all kids...
Lush green everywhere....
 Thenmala Dam....
 Way down to the road...
 Bridge built during British's time...
