Kerala (India) & Sri Lanka

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Kerala, on India's southwestern Malabar Coast, is renowned for its lush backwaters, tea and spice plantations in the Western Ghats, and a thriving Ayurvedic wellness tradition. Just a short crossing from its southern tip lies Sri Lanka — a teardrop-shaped island celebrated for ancient Buddhist temples, misty hill-country tea estates, leopard-rich national parks like Yala, and some of South Asia's finest surf and dive spots. Together, the two destinations offer a natural pairing of tropical landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and diverse adventure. Travellers are drawn to this dual-destination route for its blend of houseboat cruises, wildlife safaris, colonial history, and warm coastal hospitality.

Discover Kerala & Sri Lanka: Islands & Ruins — Self-Launched

An 18-day self-launched version of G Adventures' "Discover Kerala & Sri Lanka: Islands & Ruins" — same route (Fort Kochi → Alleppey → Kollam → Varkala → Kochi → Negombo → Sigiriya → Digana → Kandy → Nuwara Eliya → Ella → Hikkaduwa), built from local buses, trains, ferries and one cheap flight instead of a private vehicle and CEO. You'll sleep in beach guesthouses and homestays, eat where locals eat, and book the temples, spice garden, tea factory and Little Adam's Peak yourself — all for roughly a third of the tour price. Costs are approximate backpacker rates in GBP.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Kerala (India) & Sri Lanka 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: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
