It was a short trip to Kerala for a typical Mallu wedding. Guruvayur temple is one of the sacred palces for most Mallu's. This is approximately a two hour drive from cochin airport.
My trip was just 2 nights hopping from guruvayur to ernakulum. I experienced the most colourful sunset on a jetty ride one evening which is strangely named as marine drive boating. Sipping on some hot coffee which had a froth layer giving the aroma one would die for his is a must try. The banana bajiya, are a bit too sweet but best accompanied with tea and coffee. You would typically find a pleasant weather around this time of the year... we even caught our first monsoons for the year. We also visited a goddess temple which had arti timings every 15 min...this does make ur life difficult to get the darshan immediately. Overall colourful old style architectural houses and lush green landscapes are pleasant for long drives. One can even drive to Munnar and stay in a boathouse bu definately pre-bookings are recommended. Food is definately good at typical restaurants serving a variety of veg and nonveg food...especially sea food is good.
Overall one can also shop for many typical south indian things like samai (diya to light with oil), silk sarees, some heavy gold temple jewellery....dnt miss on these things while u r on a holiday.
