About this trip
Six days through Kerala's backwaters, spice country and coast, with a night on a houseboat as the centrepiece.
Expect a gentle pace and a mix of guided visits and free time, taking in local culture, food and landscape rather than rushing between sights.
Suits families and groups after an easy introduction to Kerala rather than a hard-adventure trip.
