KERALA
The major advantage of this state is that it’s small and filled with attractions or activities so you save time in reaching one place from another. The best way to explore the town is a drive in your comfortable private car. You can start from the Port town of Cochin, where you can visit many attractions and also try the local Kerala cuisine. To get a feel of its culture and various art forms you can enjoy an evening cultural show.
A night or two at the hill station of Munnar is a perfect way to unwind you and switch on the recharge mode. The Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary also offers boat ride and safari. If you wish you can also indulge in activities like Elephant ride, Spice tour, watching a Kathakali (traditional dance form) etc. The Holiday Navigator offers Kerala tour packages suiting all pockets. We also organise various other South India tour packages at great prices.
The backwaters can be explored by a houseboat ride and if interested you can also choose to stay for a night on a boat house. Enjoy witnessing sunrise or sunset in one of its beautiful beaches. Stay in a home-stay along with host, interact and eat with them to understand their culture. The local people are great hosts you must know!
