CLASSIC KERALA
This tour is a great introduction to Kerala as it includes Cochin, the hill station of Munnar, the Wildlife Sanctuary at Periyar, the backwaters (both at a resort and on a houseboat) and the beach. Because it includes the main highlights of Kerala there is a wide range of hotels at all places. We are therefore able to offer this tour in a variety of budgets (including a version using ‘boutique’ hotels).
