Description
The south west of India is a tropical region of forests, mountains, old coastal cities, meandering waterways and colourful temples. It's a region that's much more relaxed than the north of India, making travel less of a strain. Accommodation during the tour is also family-friendly and of a good standard. The tour itself is full of activity, and you'll ride on and bathe Indian elephants, visit sprawling tea plantations in the hill country of the Western Ghats and cruise lakes and waterways on a traditional rice barge. Take a wildlife boat trip on LakePeriyar, enter the jungle of EvarikulumNational Park and experience a feast for all the senses at the Sri Meenakshi temple complex. Learn to cook traditional Keralan food and try on traditional Kathakali dance costumes - this tour offers so much to entertain and fascinate kids and adults alike.
