There are some places in the world, that time and again call us back. Kerala, for me, is one such destination. The first time I visited Kerala, it was in 2017. I backpacked from the North Malabar region to all the way to the southern tip of the state, taking almost a month. And that was it. My love (there is no hate in this relationship) for Kerala began, and Kerala became a regular destination.
