Kerala Holidays

Name: Kerala
Brand: Exodus
Rating: 4.6 (293 reviews)

You could spend a lifetime exploring the nuances that make each place – and each day – distinctly different from the last in India. Each is marked by its own food, festivals and traditions. And there’s an ever-changing landscape too. On Kerala holidays and the languid south, you’ll find the pace much slower than in the frenetic north. Tranquil rural villages, deserted white-sand beaches and wildlife-rich rainforest make Kerala the perfect haven. Beautiful countryside, rolling plains and lush valleys are home to elephants, monkeys and other flora and fauna.

On Exodus Kerala tours you’ll have the opportunity to stay on a converted rice barge and explore the sleepy backwaters. The barges are open on both sides, encouraging a natural breeze and allowing stunning views of both banks of the river. Throughout the journey watch local life pass by, and in the evenings visit villages to experience life here more closely.

In focus: Tropical Kerala

As you near the coast, intricate networks of lakes, rivers and estuaries criss-cross the timeless landscape. Travel in style along the Kerala backwaters on a traditional houseboat, meandering through the lush tropical vegetation and past sleepy villages where the pace of life has remained the same for hundreds of years. Fascinating old towns such as Cochin, an intricate mix of religions and delicious food add to this potent brew.

Take me there: The Tropical South India Tour

The two week cycle tour more than met our expectations. First time in India and would definitely visit again.
The two key components being part of a nice group of eight participants whom all got on well (4 couples) and really superb local tour guides led by Safi.
India more than met our expectations in terms of being ‘different’ in that it was very busy, noisy, colourful, warm which all added to the sensory experience as well as much of the countryside being delightful to cycle through.
The Indian people in all locations were very very friendly with the children particularly keen to wave and acknowledge our presence which was a nice feeling.
The first days dive into the very busy and noisy hustle bustle of Mysore with cows wandering down the roads and experience of some poorer areas, then the tour moves more to the countryside where it is quieter. The final week heads down to the coast of Kerala where the cycling is easier and the temperature is hotter and the humidity is higher.
There are interesting and varied accommodation types used throughout the tour. Some accommodation is delightful whilst some accommodation is ordinary.
Thoroughly enjoyable and memorable holiday
Graeme Mackenzie Cycle Kerala & Tropical India

A brilliant holiday, I can’t think of anything that could have been improved. The guide Biju was perfect, he had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the area, and nothing was too much trouble. The balance between organised excursions and free time was ideal in our case with plenty of time for wandering around, or ferreting out restaurants and hidden bars. The optional excursions were explained clearly and those we selected, which was most of them, perfectly matched or exceeded expectations. The whole holiday, South India, Biju and Exodus thoroughly exceeded my expectations.
