Overview

About Kerala

Kerala is India at its most serene — a slim, green state where the Arabian Sea meets a maze of palm-fringed canals, where the hills wear blankets of tea and where every meal is a coconut-scented event.

Our Kerala holiday threads together the colonial charm of Fort Kochi, the cool tea country of Munnar, an overnight cruise through the Alleppey backwaters on a private houseboat, and beach time in Kovalam — all paced gently.
