Compared to the North, southern India is a different place working on a different pace. But you don’t need to devote a month to get here; this compact trip offers a healthy taste of Kerala’s stunning tropical beauty. Luxuriate on the beach and watch the sunset, explore magnificent temples, and savour that last smidgen of flavour as you scrape your banana leaf plate clean. After a night aboard a houseboat in the tranquil backwaters, you may never want to leave.
