God's Own Country
Backwaters that mirror the sky, hill stations wrapped in tea, and a coast that has welcomed travellers for two thousand years.
Kerala stretches along India's southwest coast — a state of palm-lined backwaters, cool mountain tea country, ayurvedic tradition and centuries of spice-trade history. From houseboats on Vembanad Lake to the hills of Munnar and Idukki, it moves at its own unhurried pace.
Highlights
- The Backwaters — A vast network of palm-lined canals and lakes around Alleppey and Kumarakom, best experienced from a traditional houseboat.
- Munnar & the High Ranges — Emerald tea terraces and cool mountain air at 1,600m in the Western Ghats, with Idukki's hills close by.
- Ayurveda — The living home of India's classical wellness tradition — retreats and treatments across the state.
- Fort Kochi — Colonial lanes, Chinese fishing nets and spice markets in one of the oldest trading ports on the Arabian Sea.
