Explore Kerala on a tailor-made trip with a private local guide
It’s beautiful beaches, serene backwaters, forested mountains and rare wildlife that are the primary reasons for a Luxury Tour to Kerala, along with the chance to experience one of the oldest and most traditional cultures in the world. Such major highlights explain why National Geographic’s Traveler magazine named Kerala as one of their ‘Top 50 Must See Destinations of a Lifetime’.
Hub of the colonial spice trade, Kerala is where ancient traditions and modern India co-exist most harmoniously, against a backdrop of lush backwaters, forested hills and mountains smothered in tea estates. Experience the lush greenery of tea and spice plantations, cruise along tranquil backwaters on a private houseboat, and relax at luxurious resorts nestled amidst coconut groves and pristine beaches. Our tailor-made itineraries also include private visits to historic temples, encounters with traditional arts like Kathakali, and rejuvenating Ayurvedic treatments.
