About this trip
Nine days through Kerala, moving from hill country to wildlife reserves to the backwaters and down to the coast. It's a private, fully guided tour, so the pace is set around you rather than a fixed group.
You'll take in Munnar's hills, look for wildlife in Periyar, drift through the backwaters at Kumarakom, spend a night on a houseboat in Alleppey, and finish on the beach at Kovalam. Kerala's Ayurvedic tradition is part of the backdrop too.
It's built as a relaxing, family-friendly trip rather than a fast-moving adventure, and it's also offered as a Christmas and New Year option.

- Tour operators respond quickly to feedback; chef adapted meals within hours when spice preference was mentioned.
- Hotel standards inconsistent; some fall short of typical 3-star Asian hotels despite being clean and tidy.
- Scheduled itineraries sometimes don't materialise; Alleppey canal visit was missed despite being planned.
