Hello all! :)
In Winter of December 2016, I took a roadtrip through God's Own Country, as it is called, Kerala.
Kerala is a state in South India, and it is truly a combination of fantastic places. Whether you want mountains and forests, or the beach and the water, or islands and lakes, it will give you a taste of everything! Doing this road trip with my Yamaha R3, her name is HOPE, I had 14 days of bliss and loved it all, hated some parts, and came away richer!
Here are some photos of this amazing state!

Sunset at Kanyakumari, southern most tip of India
Fishing boats in Kanyakumari..
The Golden Peak of Kerala, Ponmudi. This is a great place to take in a view of the southern boundary of Western Ghats! The view is fabulous! In the evening, there is a golden glow on the mountain
Exploring Ashtamudi Lake in Munroe Island! It is bliss here!
Taking a canoe around Munroe Island early in the morning! The warmth of the rising sun makes the soul feel good! :)
Hiking through Periyar National Park and Tiger Reserve. The view was really worth the long climb I had to make to get to the top of the hill!

Exploring the tea plantations in Valparai. I saw bisons here, feeding amongst the plantations and even had a close encounter with one bison and her calf. That was scary for a second!
Those curves! What fun they were!
Silent Valley National Park, one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. For a long time, I wanted to visit this amazing place, and finally it happened!
Those colors! This rainforest is amazing!
One last sunset for Hope and I before we head back home!
