The Land of Eternal Green & Monsoon

Kerala stretches across lush Western Ghats, cascading waterfalls, and labyrinthine backwater canals. From the mist-draped tea hills of Munnar to the ancient forests of Thekkady — from the roaring Athirappilly Falls to the mirror-still waters of Alleppey — this journey traces Kerala's full soul in seven extraordinary days.
