Kerala Tour Packages
Sandwiched between the Arabian Sea in the west and the mighty Western Ghats on the East, the State of Kerala is in every sense of the word, awe inspiring. One of the top 10 destinations in the world, according to National Geographic, Keralais truly the epitome of nature, heritage and hospitality.
For this trip we take you on a 9 day tour around God's own country, starting from Kochi or Cochin, one of the major ports in Western India to the southernmost tip of the Indian Peninsula, Kanyakumari.
While at Kochi one can experience modernized Kerala, with drizzles of monuments and historical memorials, Munnar holds within itself enchanting beauty of nature and the hills. While places like Thekkady will introduce you to wilderness and the rich wildlife diversity of India, Kumarkom is where you can relax and let the house boat cradle you across the backwaters of Kerala. At Kanyakumari watch the giant waterbodies of the Indian Subcontinent vanish into the vast body of the Indian Ocean while on the lighter note, do some thrifty shopping on the streets and local bazaars of Kovalam.
