Welcome to Kerala
Kerala is a slow-travel dream: drift through the Alleppey backwaters on a private houseboat, sip estate tea among the misty hills of Munnar, spot elephants in Thekkady and unwind on the palm-fringed sands of Kovalam and Varkala.
Add a traditional Ayurvedic spa retreat and Kathakali performances and you have one of India's most relaxing, romantic and family-friendly trips — all within short, scenic drives and a single short flight.
