Kerala Backwater Journeys
Kerala Tour Packages
Backwaters, tea hills & the Malabar coast
God's Own Country — Kerala pairs palm-fringed backwaters with
cool tea-covered hills and a warm coastal culture. Cruise Vembanad Lake on a premium houseboat, wander tea
plantations at Munnar and unwind on the beaches of Kovalam.
Discover the peaceful charm of Alleppey (Alappuzha), famous for its winding waterways, traditional villages
and elegant houseboats. A leisurely cruise through the backwaters reveals a slower side of Kerala, where
coconut palms, paddy fields and riverside communities create an idyllic landscape.
