Kerala May 2026
We travelled to India in May for the 1st time for my 60th Birthday trip and can honestly say that everything was perfect from the start of the booking with Anika to the flights back home to uk. When we arrived in Kochin, we were greeted by Lali who drove us around Kerala for the next 7 days. He is one of the loveliest people we have ever met and was so kind and helpful throughout our trip. We enjoyed the whole experience and visited Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, a Houseboat in Alappuzha and Poovar. One of the most humbling things on our trip was visiting the Srishti Welfare Centre. It empowers specially-abled individuals and dependents of tea plantation workers by teaching them trades and providing sustainable livelihoods. We were fascinated by the various paper items made with Elephant Dung 😄 We had a cooking class with Maria - Excellent! We met a wonderful couple Cyriac and his wife Dolly at their Pepper County Home Stay and had the most fascinating tour around their spice plantation, We saw Waterfalls, Periyar Lake, Kathakali Dancing and a martial arts show. The houseboat stay was quite special and there was stunning scenery everywhere and so much more. It was simply fantastic and we look forward to our next trip with Flights and Packages. Xxx
