My Trip to God’s Own Country, Kerala

I
went on a family trip to Kerala in the summer vacation. We
covered three places i.e. Kochi, Munnar and Alleppey. We landed
at Kochi airport and went
directly to our hotel. There,
we were served coconut water
as a welcome drink. We went to
the only Jew Synagogue in India
where I read about why and when
Jews came to India. After that,
we went to the Kerala Kathakali
Centre. I was so amazed to
see the Kathakali dancers
Globe Trotters applying makeup on their
face for one hour. Finally,
we visited a famous church
and a folklore museum.
Our next stop was a
beautiful hill station, Munnar,
lush with abundant tea plantation.
There, we visited Echo Point, a tea
factory and a botanical garden. We
also went to Rajamalai Eravikulam
National Park where we spotted
a few Nilghiri Tahr. They are a
rare species of goat. On the way,
we also enjoyed an elephant ride
which was great fun. Our last stop
was the famous backwaters in
Alleppey. Spending a day in a houseboat was a memorable experience.
Truly, my India is a beautiful country and I am proud to be an Indian.

Beautiful Darjeeling

I
went to Darjeeling with my family. It is a beautiful hill station
in West Bengal. There are many lush tea gardens. I took a ride in
the famous toy train. I enjoyed adventure sports like paragliding,
ropeway and river crossing. I did horse riding for the first time. It
was very exciting. There were many Buddhist monasteries. I had lots of
fun during this trip.
