India's Southern India
Kerala
This fertile southern strip of lush green, displays India in a gentle, relaxed, harmonious state. Kerala’s backwaters consist of an intricate system of canals, rivers, lakes and lagoons, and drifting through the scenic landscape painted with charming villages, moist paddy fields and fertile coconut groves promises a Southern Indian experience not to be missed. At the coastline, revel in the intriguing remnants of a colonial past captured in the ornate churches, historical homes and Raj-era game lodges that spot the shore. Inland, find the Western Ghats, hosting a captivating blend of wildlife sanctuaries, coffee plantations, and hill stations.
Throughout the province, wonder at the brilliant array of unique customs, arts and festivals that have evolved much in their original state due to Kerala’s sheltered location. From the exquisitely unique cuisine to the luxury of an Ayurvedic treatment; the colonial treasures of its coastline to the lush topography of its interior, Kerala will leave no soul unsatisfied.
