The dust from the city was wiped by the showers from the cloud making its sign of taking us into the world of beauty. We were on a journey from Bangalore to Kerala to explore the beauty that dazzled lakhs of travellers in past and is still continuing to bring huge mass travel from all around the globe. This time my tour was with TourisAwesome Holidays. The tour was a photography tour to capture the best of Kerala in the stipulated time that I had with myself. I was prepared and prepared for the best experience.

As I opened my eyes early morning to see from the window of my wagon, I was gazed to view one of the best sight i dint want to close eye after that. I was quite for sometime to just see the scenic beauty of the sunrise and the lovely green field. I knew that my baby camera shall have its amazing journey to capture these moments. We soon then entered into the city of Calicut which is formerly called as Kozikhode. Kozhikode or Calicut as it is popularly known is a land of
pristine beaches, aromatic spice gardens, picturesque country sides & warm
people. It was way back in 1948 that the coastal town of Kozhikode rose to fame
when Vasco Da Gama first set foot on its shores. Its magnanimous hills,
gurgling streams, historic sites, wildlife sanctuaries, quaint villages &
busy bazaars lure tourists year after year.
