Kerala Luxury Tours
|
Experiencing the highlights
of Kerala at a relaxed pace with a mixture of sightseeing, wildlife
viewing and leisure time. The hotels used on this tour are top range,
extremely comfortable and the owners have a strong belief in ecotourism.
This luxury tour gives you a chance to experience a diversity of
landscapes from the harbour city of Cochin to the Periyar Wildlife
Sanctuary in the highlands of the Western Ghats. A trip to Kerala is
not complete without time to experience the backwaters, so we have
allocated four days in this area (two at a resort and two on a
houseboat). We have included a stay in a restored estate house set in a
rubber plantation and also three days at the beautiful beach area of
Mararikulam.
