THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: ‘Lonely Planet’, publisher of popular travel guides, has ranked Northern Kerala as the third best destination to visit in Asia in 2017. According to the latest rankings, the northern part of God’s Own Country figures after Gansu in China and South of Tokyo in Japan.
“Travellers have been making a beeline for Kerala’s southern beaches for years but Northern Kerala has long been the underrated half of the state, concealing its backwater charms and emerging slowly like a butterfly from a chrysalis,” said ‘Lonely Planet’.
