Backwaters in Kerala
Cochin, India

Southern India, especially the State of Kerala in the south western corner of India, could not be more different from the more frequented north. Stunningly green and beautiful, it is a narrow coastal strip with banana and rubber plantations, superb palm-fringed beaches, rice fields, a much more relaxed atmosphere and even a totally different language. The tropical climate gives way to a mass of rainforests, jungles, incredible fruit and flowers and is also of unique natural interest, being home to some important medicinal plants. There are no fewer than 11 wildlife sanctuaries in this pretty corner of India and you will get to experience one first-hand. Our tour reflects Kerala’s extraordinary diversity - cruise the famous backwaters, experience game drives, tea and spices, an idyllic coastline, the uniqueness of Cochin and much more including an overnight stay on a houseboat.
