Kerala is known as the “land of spices”, with records of the ancient spice trade dating back 3000 years.

Kerala is a foodie's paradise, offering a dazzling array of aromatic spices and the freshest seafood. The cuisine is characterized by its use of rice, coconut, and spices such as cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. Avial, Fish Curry, and Appam are staples, while Sadya, a feast served on banana leaves, is served during the festive season. Desserts, like Payasam and Pazham Pori, offer a sweet finale to this delicious experience.

The local agency was able to translate our idea of ​​travel into activities that met our tastes well. Drivers and guides: punctual and available. The local agency was in constant contact with us via WhatsApp. The flexibility on the planned activities was also good. Excursion to Periyar, during the monsoons - it is better to do it with rubber boots. The idea of ​​not limiting yourself to the north (Rajasthan) and including the south (Kerala) is excellent, you go fast and take internal flights but it is worth it. Recommended houseboat in Kerala and tea plantations in Munnar, all the classics of the north including Amber Fort in Jaipur were good. Good idea of ​​dinner with a family in Jaipur.
