Best of Kerala Package (3 Nights)- Overview
A ideal, flexible break for families, groups or couples intent on romance. Tailor your stay with activities that suit your plans and wish list. Kerala has so much to offer, indulge in authentic Indian life and stunning, rich, natural topography. You may be intent on experiencing the outdoors and exploring the green slopes and exotic natural terrain of Kerala.
