Something for Everyone

There are so many ways you can spend your days out from Fragrant Nature. You can visit Boothakulam for an elephant ride or a cultural show, go shopping in Kollam, take a backwater cruise to Alleppey, sunbathe at Varkala, or head for the cooler plantations and forests of the Western Ghats.
