Kerala, India

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Kerala is a lush coastal state in southwest India, stretching along the Malabar Coast between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea. It's renowned for its tranquil backwaters — a vast network of lagoons, lakes, and canals best explored by houseboat — as well as its palm-fringed beaches at Kovalam and Varkala. The state is equally celebrated for Ayurvedic wellness retreats, rich spice plantations in Munnar, and diverse wildlife in Periyar National Park. Kerala's distinct culture, classical Kathakali dance, and flavourful cuisine make it a favourite among travellers seeking a mix of nature, relaxation, and authentic South Indian experience.

Self-Launched: Hiking & Yoga in Kerala — Western Ghats to the Backwaters

An independent version of Much Better Adventures' Premium 'Hiking and Yoga in South India' trip, done your way: a heritage stay in Fort Kochi, four nights in the misty tea hills of Munnar with daily Hatha yoga and hikes through the shola grasslands and cloud forests of the Western Ghats (including Meesapulimala, Butterfly Forest and Mathikettan National Park), then a slow finale on Kerala's backwaters with a kettuvallam cruise and a lakeside heritage retreat. Swap private group logistics for local buses, shared jeeps, auto-rickshaws and self-booked guides, and trade 4-5 star boutique lodging for well-rated mid-range guesthouses, homestays and cottages. All costs are rough per-person estimates for a budget-to-midrange independent traveller.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Kerala, India yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
