About this holiday
Kerala slows you down in the best way. Mist rolling over tea gardens in Munnar, the smell of cardamom in Thekkady, and a night drifting on the backwaters while dinner is cooked on board.
We plan Kerala at a relaxed pace with drivers who speak Hindi, and make sure vegetarian food is available everywhere.

- Private houseboat night in Alleppey
- Munnar tea gardens and Eravikulam
- Thekkady spice plantation and Periyar lake
- Kathakali and Kalaripayattu shows
