A Memorable Trip to Kerala’s Periyar Wildlife Reserve
I have shared with you my travel experience to Periyar. Let us see Periyar from a non Indian traveler’s eye…

Budget Travel in Kerala – Varkala / Alleppey
Our next destination was Varkala post checking out Alleppey backwaters. There runs a super fast bus from Kumily to Kottayam every 1 hour starting 8 am. Little did we expect that the Rs.70 that we paid for the tickets was inclusive of a roller coaster ride! Living up to its name, this super fast bus reaches Kottayam in 3 hours (1 hour earlier than normal buses).
Budget travel in Kerala – Kumily / Periyar
Tough budgets? Don’t worry, you can still enjoy to the fullest, of all that Kerala has to offer.
I was in Kochi when I made an impromptu decision to travel with a set budget in mind. Destinations mapped on my itinerary were Kumily, Alleppey and Varkala. Days in hand numbered 5. As the luck would have it, I met 2 tourists on the bus who had a similar travel plan on mind…by the end of the bus trip we had decided to travel together! More the merrier!
