Kerala Trips & Tours

Soothe your chakras in sultry Kerala, a sedate yet enthralling slice of India where life is gentle and time to relax is never far away
If India summons images of cow-studded fields, dusty streets and crumbling buildings then Kerala is here to prove you wrong. A lazy haze of tropical palms, undulating swathes of green and the famous, winding backwater canals, this south-western state is heavenly – so much so that locals even refer to it as ‘God’s Own Country’. It’s also noticeably more relaxed and multi-cultural than other parts of the country, perhaps thanks to its high levels of education or indeed long history of trade with merchants from all over the world. Either way, Kerala is all about the chill and whether you’re strolling the streets of multi-coloured Cochin, floating leisurely along the backwaters, or soaking up the cool of the central tea plantations, we challenge you not to fall in love with India all over again.

It’s hard to call, but we might just say the food in Kerala is the best in India. Highlights include fluffy masala dhosa(spicy potato pancakes – but so much more), banana-wrapped fish curries and definitely the sweetest, loveliest coconut cake in the country.
