Back in March, we ( @AravindJose& @SibinCJ) traveled to the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary for an un-scheduled pleasure trip. Both of us were first-timers there and it was a very memorable first. Drenched in green, the Sanctuary with vast pristine backwaters on two sides (we had a 1hour boating in it) gifted us 3.5 hours of soothing calmness.
Watch the movie.
