My girlfriend and I were on vacation in india and took some ayurveda treatment in allepey, where we got connected to Anil Kumar, wich was the best thing that could have happend to us. We had private lessons each day for one week, wich was perfect because i am a beginner in yoga and Anil was kind enough to put an eye on me and teached me how to improve my body and showed me on which parts i have to keep an eye on. We really hope to see you again, Anil, and I do hope that you keep up your precious work to help people getting in balance. Wish you all the best!! Namaste, anand and maria

Ettumanoor Mahadeva Temple

Reviewed By 528kalyanb - London, United Kingdom

A vast expanse of temple with a wonderful Siva Linga in the inner sanctum. Looked likely it was white-ish at the bottom, possibly sandalwood. The lighting is quite weak and only from lamps

Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary

Reviewed By Sweetoes - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

It is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna and is noted for many species of migratory birds. Even though birds were not our interest, we really enjoyed the 4km walk (2km each way). We started our walk at 10am and we could not observe any birds, but we could hear their chirping and singing throughout the way. The walk was very pleasant because despite the sunny condition outside, the foliage provided a cool canopy over the entire stretch of the path. The root system was also very interesting to see as they had snaked themselves across the path in many places. At the end of the 2km walk in, we stopped by the banks of beautiful Vembanad Lake for a breather, before continuing another 300m to the observatory tower (which was locked). The 50-step stairs were badly eroded by rust and I hope they are replaced soon so that this tower can be preserved for visitors. Also, the authorities should put up a sign to inform visitors that the watch tower is locked and to warn us that the stairs were rickety and dangerous, rather than have us climb all the way up and find out that it was not worth anything. We finished the 4km leisurely walk in just under 2 hours. The park is very clean and the path clearly marked. There were also a number of security personnel around to ensure our safety.
