Welcome to Kerala: a beautiful tropical region with centuries of spice trading history. On this tour, get ready to experience the mesmerising landscapes and rich heritage of India's south-western coast: take glimpses into the country's colonial past and ancient dance forms, head deep into the dense green mountains to discover waterfalls and mist-clad hills, meet beloved wildlife with a tiger reserve bamboo rafting trip, and bask in spectacular sunsets set amid lake views. You'll stay in stunning hotels throughout, boasting everything from sumptuous spas to exquisite dining.
Your escape will take you from the historic port of Kochi to the emerald green slopes of Munnar and the wildlife-rich forests of Thekkady, before embarking on a traditional houseboat cruise along the tranquil Alleppey backwaters and unwinding at a premium Kumarakom lakeside resort. Along the way, enjoy included excursions including spice-scented mountain treks, private city heritage tours, and mesmerising theatrical performances.
And if you fancy an extra dose of relaxation, opt to extend your adventure to Maldivian sands, unwinding at a resort in the Maldives for three, five, or seven nights more. What's more, private and shared transfers will be on hand throughout for added ease.
