“Kerala is known for its rustic beauty and an incredibly picturesque landscape, verdant hills and quiet backwaters, which attract tourists from across the world. It is a matter of pride for us to be listed by Nat Geo, which is among the leading magazines in the world,” said Kerala Tourism Minister A C Moideen.
Beginning with hunting the aurora borealis in the northern lights zone in Norway at 12 am, the list includes photos of Hawaii at 5 am, Paris at 6 am, San Francisco at 7 am, Abu Dhabi at 8 am, Melbourne at 9 am, New York at 8 pm, Budapest (Hungary) at 10 pm and Kerala at 6 pm, among others.
“The recognition is rewarding and will add to our efforts to introduce and showcase different destinations in the nature-endowed state,” said Principal Secretary (Tourism) Dr Venu V.
The island of Kakkathuruthu, which is located not far from the ancient port city of Kochi, is connected to the mainland only through traditional boats. The quiet island, surrounded by the Vembanad Lake, is a perfect destination for birdwatchers.
Kerala Tourism Director U V Jose said, “It is absolutely exhilarating to see the small island included in the travel recommendations. It is not only a reaffirmation of Kerala’s natural endowments but also a huge recommendation to international tourists for a tryst with the coastal state.”
