India • Kerala • Colours and culture tour
A circuit of the south These new holidays have been researched and designed by our Managing Director, John Brough. As ever, the holidays will be supported by wonderful local staff who will add richness to the experience beyond the particular activity you choose. Kerala is a large region and inevitably it is not possible to visit everywhere in a fortnight. However, we believe we have struck the right balance between visiting contrasting regions and having sufficient time to explore and relax in each region. This journey takes us to the dreamy Backwaters, or the Venice of the east, via the lands of spices and on to the high peaks of The Western Ghats. We complete the tour with a couple of restful days in the old colonial settlement of Fort Cochin. Throughout the trip our drivers will be with us. We can therefore ensure that our locations are not only the best, but that we are able to respond to events around us and ensure we make the most of the regions in which we stay.
