All the 14 districts have different stories to recite to the travellers and it hosts the people in the best manner. Taking a tour package to Kerala gives the people, an opportunity to be amidst the richness of greenery and culture. Both of which are inseparable from the state. My journey along with my family through the 5 major districts of Kerala gave me information, in a nutshell, regarding it which has been provided as follows.
Trivandrum: The capital city of Kerala, this destination is famous for the Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple that is located in the place. It remains to be a major place of visit by the families when traveling to the location.
