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.

Guest Experiences

Served over 23000+ happy travelers

India has always been in my heart for many years, this is the third time I've been back, even if the last one dates back many years ago. This year I entrusted myself to the agency and I wasn't wrong, they packaged the tour well, with some modifications of my own to shorten the hours in the car. Excellent driver (shish pal), guides all in Italian and very competent, hotels - especially those outside Delhi (historical residences), dinner with a family from Rajasthan (really interesting), traditional dance in Udaipur and visit to the monuments.
