Your holiday is 100% tailored for you. Price is based on two persons travelling together. Price varies according to season, accommodation and activities.

A very popular Kerala tour where you journey through Kerala’s most enchanting destinations. Begin in historic Cochin, where ancient Chinese fishing nets line the harbor and colonial architecture tells tales of centuries-old spice trade. Wander through the Jewish Quarter, where synagogues stand beside Portuguese churches, offering glimpses into the port city’s rich past.

Ascend to Munnar, where endless waves of tea plantations carpet the Western Ghats. Your private villa here serves as a perfect vantage point to witness morning mist rolling over the hills, while guided walks reveal the art of tea cultivation passed down through generations.

In Kumarakom, the pace slows to match the gentle lapping of lake waters. Your luxury lakeside resort offers front-row seats to Kerala’s famous backwaters, where kingfishers dive and egrets wade through the shallows. The experience deepens aboard your private houseboat, a converted rice barge transformed into a floating boutique hotel. Glide through a maze of canals, while your personal chef prepares Kerala’s finest dishes under a canopy of stars.

The journey concludes at Kovalam’s golden shores, where three crescent beaches meet the Arabian Sea. Here, days drift between sunrise yoga sessions, ayurvedic spa treatments, and peaceful moments by the infinity pool.

This tour weaves together Kerala’s finest experiences, with every transfer seamless and every hotel hand-picked. Your private guides ensure each day unfolds exactly as you wish, creating an intimate exploration of God’s Own Country.
