Traveller Guides Kerala & Southern India, 3rd (Travellers - Thomas Cook)

Drift along the serene backwaters of Alappuzha in a kettuvallom, enjoying the slow pace of life and tucking into succulent seafood on board. Enjoy the spectacle of a Kathakali concert, where elaborate costumes, flamboyant decoration and multi-colored face paint make the artistes look almost superhuman. Indulge your sweet tooth at Kozhikode, the home of Calicut halwa and other mouth-watering treats. Cool off at one of Tamil Nadu's hill stations, a tranquil world of mist-clad tea plantations, winding lanes and charming villages.
