Tourism in India is more than just occupation; it’s embedded in the culture. ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’, literally meaning ‘Guest is God’ has been passed down since ages and even the 21st century practices it here in India.

The essence of ‘Guest is God’ can be seen in the southernmost state of Kerala. Indian Holiday Travel is designed to take the people away from the hustle-bustle of their daily lives and provide a peaceful place to free the mind and the body. This is easily achieved in the exotic state which has more to offer than any other state. Ranging right from Rejuvenation centers situated in the heart of dense forests to Scuba diving in the Indian Ocean, Kerala has it all. Clean beaches, freshwater and saltwater lakes, rivers and mountain ranges make up the travel and holidays unforgettable.

Holiday Packages in India are generally tailored to not create a hole in the pockets of the common man and are thus very affordable. The Kerala tour and travel is highly based on the shoulders of small towns that make time stop and the tourists want to set up home here. Places like Munnar, Alleppey backwaters, Kovalam Beach, Kochi and Athirapally falls can’t be missed. Periyar Wildlife sanctuary and Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary are one of the best in the country. It is also famous for its tea and spice plantations. Thekkady Spice plantations light up the Periyar with aromas of fresh vanilla, black pepper, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon.

One of the Kerala Tour Packages takes you through the tea plantations in Kolukkumalai. The one and a half hour ride starting from Munnar while have your jaws dropping with the beauty of the mountains and the greenery will make you want to stay there. The tea from these plantations is premium grade and one of the most loved beverages in all of India. It is the world’s highest tea estate and is known for its excellent flavorful tea and pleasant weather and breathtaking views.

With all that grows and brews in the state, it is quite obvious that the food here will be lip-smacking and scrumptious. Served in plates made out of banana leaves at most places, it has influences of the Arabs, Dutch and other cultures. Start your days with the authentic idli, dosa and sambar, and you won’t call anything else ‘breakfast of champions’ ever again. Dive into a plate full of seafood with spicy fish curries, and Malabari biryani with chicken for lunch. Do not forget to drink lots of filter coffee with all of your meals.

Most tour Packages in India specify the various activities you can do while you are traveling. Make sure that you get an ayurvedic massage, catch a Kathakali performance, go on a ride on a houseboat and visit the friendly elephants at Kadanad.
