Enjoy the Resplendent Monsoon in Kerala with Sterling Holidays
Special Family Packages to celebrate the season and rejuvenate the soul in Munnar and Thekkady
Mumbai, June 2014:
Kerala takes on rich hues of green as the landfall of the South West
Monsoon unleashes the life forces of nature across the state. The
colours of nature burst forth and the different shades of green have a
soul stirring effect. Recharged water bodies, cascading waterfalls, a
roaring sea – all combine to create a captivating experience. According
to Ayurveda, Monsoon is the best season for rejuvenation therapies.
During the Monsoon season, the atmosphere remains dust-free and cool,
opening the pores of the body to the maximum, making it most receptive
to herbal oils and therapy.
For just Rs 32,000/-, a family of 2 adults and 2 children
can enjoy the Monsoon bliss of Kerala at the Sterling resorts in Munnar
and Thekkady for 3 nights and 4 days. The package covers a two-night
stay in Munnar followed by a one night stay in Thekkady. Sterling
Holidays takes care of the travel from Munnar to Thekkady with
sightseeing stops including a spice plantation visit. The package
includes all meals for two adults and two children; plus the adults can
enjoy a monsoon special Ayurveda treatment. The monsoon package is on
offer till September 15, 2014.
Munnar
is the quintessential “Tea Country” and an ideal destination for the
real feel of a monsoon. Its abundant, vast green mountains take on a
life of their own during the monsoons with vibrant flowers, rushing
springs descending into spectacular waterfalls and a canopy of green
covering the land. Located where the three rivers of Madhurapuzha,
Nallathanni and Kundaly come together in Idduki district, Munnar hosts
the famous Eravikulam National Park with its Nilgiri Tahr. This holiday
town in the Western Ghats soars 6,000 feet above the languid backwaters
of Kerala and is overwhelmingly green. All roads in Munnar either wind
along high-altitude shola forests, rolling slopes of tea plantations or
large stretches of spice plantations. Sterling Holiday’s Munnar Terrace
Greens has drawn inspiration for its name from the beautiful and scenic
landscape that is visible from the resort, something out of a dream
world. Nestled within undulating hills in the quiet village of
Chinnakanal, nearly 20 km from the hustle bustle of Munnar town, the
resort merges with the vast mountainous terrain that forms the best
backdrop.
Thekaddy
is a nature lover's ecstasy with its unspoilt tropical forests and its
incredible wealth of animal and plant life. The Periyar forest has great
views and is the best place for photography with its picture perfect
landscape. Set off on a memorable plantation tour, spice garden trek,
walking through the cardamom, coffee, pepper and tea plantations or make
the most of it by walking into tribal settlements and experiencing
their culture up close. Thekkady with its elephants, hills and
spice-scented plantations is a mesmerising experience during the
monsoon. The Periyar National Park in Thekkady is one of the few
national parks in India to remain open during the monsoon season. The
sanctuary with over 35 species of mammals including the Asian elephant
and over 1965 flowering plants is a treasure house to explore during the
monsoons.
Sterling
Holiday’s Woods n Spice resort in Thekkady is located near the
perimeter of the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. It is designed to blend
into the natural beauty of Thekkady's famed evergreen forests and
rolling grasslands and allows guests to truly experience living in the
wilderness.
