Our wonderful range of holidays to Kerala offer a gentle introduction to India, combining the port city of Cochin with the tea plantations of Munnar, the wildlife of Periyar, relaxing houseboat packages and the stunning beaches of Kovalam.
Situated on the southwest coast of India, Kerala is renowned for its Ayurvedic spa treatments, yoga culture & glorious beaches. The warm tropical climate is inviting and the southern Indian cuisine is simply delicious.
But the jewel in Kerala’s crown is its magnificent Backwaters - a network of freshwater lakes and rivers that stretches over 930 miles and provides a vital waterway for transporting people and their produce. All holidays to Kerala, India should include an overnight stay on the backwaters, using our traditional rice houseboat packages. You can observe the traditional way of life, as you cruise along the many canals and lakes. Select your own dinner from the local fish market, which your crew will prepare in the delicious southern style while you enjoy a magnificent sunset over the waters.
You can also include a home stay in Kumarakom, a birding hot spot on the vast Vembanad Lake, and relax on the glorious beaches of Kovalam.

The spice trading port of Cochin (now called Kochi) is the gateway to the beautiful state of Kerala on the southwest tip of India. On Kerala holidays you will be introduced to the cuisine of southern India and its relaxed rural way of life. The tea producing hill station at Munnar is a popular stopover on Kerala holidays to India, as is Periyar National Park where you can see wild Asian elephants.
Be sure to include an overnight on one of the traditional rice houseboats on the vast Backwaters. Then relax at a quiet beach resort on the Arabian Sea, such as Kovalam with its warm shallow waters that are ideal for swimming. On Kerala holidays to India you will have the opportunity to participate in early morning yoga classes and don’t forget to try out an Ayurvedic spa treatment, for which this region is world famous.
