Kochi, India
Everything about Kerala is heaven. Book this amazing Kerala tour with 6-nights' accommodation to see the best that it has to offer.

This tour covers a little of all the elements that make Kerala "God's Own Country". From the hills of Munnar to Periyar National Park, and from the secluded beaches of Kollam to the serene backwaters of Alleppey, everything is a lifetime experience.

This was a well-organized good value for money tour organised by Bout India Tours. From both initial contact to during the tour they were in constant contact with quick response times to any query we had, and they went out of their way to accommodate any extra request. Our driver made us feel safe and comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed seeing the many sights of Kerala, including the visit to the spice plantation, the tea factory, the jeep safari the stay and Mistletoe hotel and the day at Varkala beach where you can hire umbrellas and beach chairs and swim in the warm ocean. We traveled as a family four adults three children so we were able to amend the itinerary slightly as needed.
