Kerala and Karnataka
Kerala is epitomised by its slow pace of life. It is a hugely diverse region, offering a great deal without the long drives often typifying Northern India. A cruise through the backwaters past idyllic traditional villages is always a real highlight. The bustling city of Cochin, with its Dutch, Portuguese and British colonial influences has always been the hub of the spice trade. The drive into the hills will take you to the dramatic scenery of Munnar and the wildlife at Thekkady. The food is another highlight of Kerala, its traditional fish curries are a real delight. Karnataka is Kerala’s little visited cousin - where temples, nature reserves and peace and quiet are the order of the day.
