Houseboat experience
A trip to Kerala is definitely incomplete without the houseboat experience. Enjoy the world famous Kerala backwaters of Vembanad Lake at Alleppey or Kumarakom. One night in the Houseboat is good enough. You will be served all meals at the houseboat, which are freshly cooked as per your preference.

Trip to Spice plantations
Munnar, Thekkady and Wayanad have huge Spice plantations and a visit to one of them is a “must-do” for Kerala tour. Black pepper, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Vanilla and Coffee plantations are spread over a huge area. Some plantations do charge a small entry free to regular the number of people visiting these. The fresh aroma of spices would certainly bring a calmness to your senses. You may even buy some of these spices, afterall, it’s not everyday that you get fresh spices.
Stay in a tree house
Imagine yourself living in a Tree House situated between the Spice plantations, aroma of fresh spices with every breath you take, abundance of greenery and a serene calmness.
