Top Reasons to Go to Kerala

Pleasures on the Harbor: Snap a sunset photo of Fort Cochin's massive Chinese fishing nets and stroll to a local seafood joint to sample the day's catch.

Ease Your Stress: There's no place better than Kerala to get an ayurvedic oil massage. Let your tension melt away and your body kick back into equilibrium.

A Night on the Backwaters: Luxury houseboats come with hotel comforts, but the real attraction is the traditional village life you see drifting by.

Beaches for Every Taste: Relax along an isolated stretch of sand in North Kerala, go windsurfing on the island paradise of Lakshadweep, or party on Kovalam's Lighthouse Beach.

Go Wild: Watch bison, elephants, and wild boar from your balcony at the Lake Palace hotel inside the Lake Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary.
