Giethoorn – a green Venice of North Europe
Venice is undoubtedly the most famous destination in Europe for its canals and gondola rides.

Valparai – a hidden gem of Western Ghats
I was actually thinking that how should I describe this amazing place to anyone. So, Valparai is same for Munnar what Coonnoor is for Ooty and Vattakanal is for Kodaikanal, a non-commercial alternative to popular and highly commercial hill station.
