A ‘soft-landing’ into a country that’s more like a continent, where spirituality and chaos reside side-by-side in a cornucopia of colour. Stretching along the south-west coast of India, it promised to offer a delicious culinary experience as well as storybook landscapes and idyllic beaches.
Truth be told, we were looking for place that would give us that easy way into discovering why so many travellers love India so much. We were escaping the UK’s impending winter gloom in search of sun and shore, and wanted somewhere to have an adventure that felt like a bit of a holiday too. A place where we could feel like travellers again, immersing our senses in somewhere completely new, but without the challenges or strong culture school which would come with being parachuted straight into Calcutta or Delhi.
Kerala was that place, and it really was a perfect introduction to a more tranquil, more tropical version of India
After our three-week trip by train and bus from the cliffs of Varkala to the tea-dressed hills of Munnar, via the beautiful backwaters along the Malabar coast to the fading grandeur and culture of Kochi, we wanted to share our practical advice to help you plan and prepare for your own adventure in Kerala state.
