West to East - My India Holiday


We have recently finished a 3 week holiday in India. We saw a lot of the country from the frantic city of Chennai to the peaceful hillside town of Conoor and finally the lush vegetation of Goa. The stunning landscapes of the Western Ghats was truly amazing to see. Similarly the Portuguese forts and churches spread throughout Goa are spectacular. While the trip was excellent from start to finish a personal low point was when I was extremely sick on the final day of our stay in the Nilgiris! On the other hand, a highlight was definitely the Onam lunch Ammama made. She cooked up an array of delicacies that included 2 kinds of Kerala payasam. My favourite experience of that day was wearing a mundu! It was very nice meeting up with all of my family in India. 

All in all, an excellent trip!

  1. Yes Akash, a truly wonderful holiday. Personally , you can't beat Indian king fish fry and mutton in any form.
    Kerala and Goa are so similar as regards scenery. Goans are more laid back while there is more humour in Kerala! Fenny and Kallu - difficult to choose a winner!
