Discover Kerala, India

Discover Kerala, India

Traveling in South India, particularly in Kerala, offers a rich tapestry of experiences for adventurers eager to explore a land steeped in history and natural beauty. Fort Kochi is a quaint colonial town, where time seems to stand still amidst charming architecture and bustling markets that evoke a bygone era. Venturing inland, the rolling hills of the Munnar tea plantations beckon, offering a sensory delight of verdant landscapes and the aroma of freshly brewed chai. Alappuzha allows you to immerse yourself in the serene backwaters aboard a traditional houseboat, drifting along tranquil waterways lined with lush greenery and glimpses of everyday village life. Further south you can experience the slower pace of beach life at Varkala. For travelers seeking a harmonious blend of culture, nature, and tranquility, South India's Kerala is a destination not to be missed.

About this Guide

There are a lot of places in Kerala to visit, but this guide gives you 4 highlights of the amazing South Indian state. You can visit these cities in any order you like, for as many or as few days as you'd like. You can skip any of these cities listed as well if it doesn't feel like the right vibe for you. In general, I recommend 2-5 days in each location depending on how busy or relaxed you want to be by the end.

Taxi Advice from Airports in India

Ask the hotel you are staying at to organize a taxi pickup from the airport! They will know exactly where to go, they will be there on time waiting for you, and sometimes you can pay the hotel on your card with them! If they won't let you pay via the hotel, make sure you have some cash.
