Local Traditions

Kerala is a land where centuries of history and cultural influence come alive through traditional art forms, festivals, and secrets of holistic wellness.

Kerala offers vibrant Kathakali dance performances, Theyyam rituals, demonstrations of the ancient martial art form of Kalaripayattu, and exhilarating Vallam Kali boat races for travelers to experience. Visit during the festive seasons of Onam or Attukal Pongala to experience the celebrations with locals. Rejuvenate the mind and body with Ayurvedic therapies and massages, or shop for local handlooms and handcrafted goods and be dazzled by Kerala’s artistic wealth.

Guest Experiences

Served over 23000+ happy travelers

We have just come back from a trip to Tamil Nadu (India). Our experience with Travel XS has been really good. We wanted a very specific trip and organization because we had a friend's wedding in the middle of the trip. They knew how to adapt the trip to our needs very well. The drivers we had were really professional, punctual and clean, as well as friendly. Our communication with the travel agent was clear and he always answered very quickly to our questions or needs. The guides were amazing, the trips, the temples... we are really happy with this experience and for sure we will use Travel XS services in our future trips. Thank you!
