Kerala is the gentle side of India: palm-fringed backwaters, spice-scented hills, quiet beaches and a deep tradition of Ayurveda. It suits couples, families and anyone who wants to slow down.
The classic combination
- Munnar: rolling tea plantations and cool, misty mornings.
- Thekkady: spice gardens and wildlife near Periyar.
- Alleppey or Kumarakom: the backwaters, best seen from a traditional houseboat.
- Kovalam or Varkala: relaxed beaches to finish the trip.
How long to allow
Five to seven nights covers the classic loop comfortably. Add a few days for a dedicated Ayurveda programme if wellness is the goal.
Best season
September to March is the most popular window for sightseeing and the backwaters. The monsoon months bring lush scenery and are favoured for traditional Ayurveda treatments.
