After a few days in the cool hills of #Munnar, I headed down to #Alleppey (Alappuzha).

The change was instant, from tea plantations and fresh mountain air to palm trees, canals, and heavy tropical humidity.

Alleppey is famous for the #Kerala #backwaters Backwaters are a huge network of canals and lagoons.

Instead of the typical houseboat, I took a small local boat and slowly cruised through narrow waterways, passing villages where daily life revolves around the water.

After visiting #TamilNadu, I headed to #Munnar, where I spent a few days exploring the surrounding area.

I really liked it, in some ways it reminded me of Sri Lanka, with its endless tea plantations and many Tamil workers in the fields.

There are several nice hikes around the hills, a beautiful lake to walk around, and lots of lush green landscapes with great views.

So far, it’s been one of the places I enjoyed the most in #southernindia

Last stop in #TamilNadu: #Tiruchirappalli. The city is famous for its massive hindu temple complexes, and I have to say, they’re truly impressive.

It’s not a particularly beautiful city, but it felt like stepping into a different timeline.
I barely saw any Western tourists, and walking around gave me the feeling of being in a city from the past.

If it weren’t for the motorized transport and tuk-tuks, life seemed to move at the same pace as it might have hundreds of years ago
