SHARE TRIP


Rated by National Geographic Traveller as one of the world’s 50 must-see destinations, Kerala is a rich tropical landscape of palm-fringed beaches backed by emerald paddy fields, cardamom-scented hills and lush green forests of the Western Ghats.

We begin in the elegant old port of Cochin, with its handsome colonial architecture and laid-back tropical ambiance, before heading inland to the cool mountain air of Munnar, a hill station set high in the Ghats and surrounded by tea plantations. The next five days are spent trekking at gentle pace through these beautiful hills, with spectacular views as we ascend towards Meesapulimala peak (2,640m) – the highest in the area.

The trail crosses the state border into Tamil Nadu from where we descend by road to the ancient city of Madurai – home of the magnificent Sri Meenakshi temple with its spectacular gopura towers. Returning to the hills of Kerala we venture into Periyar where sighting the wild elephants could brighten our spirits. The final days are spent relaxing down on the coast, with a cruise through the spellbinding beauty of the Kerala backwaters near Alleppey before driving south to the white-sand beaches of Kovalam.
