Deenaz Raisinghani, a Jaipur-based blogger is fond of travelling. Having a baby did not stop her craving for travelling. In fact, the mom to a three-year-old has travelled to nine countries with the baby, as a family and even solo. The Backpacking Mama shares her experience of her trip to Kerala.
“We travelled to Kerala when my daughter was just 11 months old, and it remains one of our most favourite trips with family. Kerala caters to everyone, on every kind of budget. Along with its scenic beauty, it allures you with its delicious coastal cuisine and cultural prominence. We took a road trip through Kerala entering from Wayanad and then Kochi, and finally reaching all the way up to the hills of Munnar,” said Deenaz.
Deenaz said the road of Kerala has been good and her daughter took road trip comfortably. Another thing to be noted is that Kerala has abundance of eating places all along the roads, which may not be seen in other states of India.
“I carried a portable food-making kit for the baby (for mashed rice or vegetables), and gave her fresh coconut water all through the journey,” she added
“My daughter enjoyed the houseboat experience as much as the beaches of Kerala, her first ever beach holiday. We stayed at a forest camp and went bamboo rafting in Wayanad with her, something we all enjoyed. She had started eating soft solids by then, so she experimented with “puttu”, Kerala fish curry and soft crab meat with rice.”
“This trip opened up her palette to a lot more tastes around the world. Kerala is a complete family destination from Thekkady to Kumarakom to Varkala, and no matter which part of it you choose to explore, your children will have a great time,”
