Best Family Destination<\/h3>\n

The team at Iris Holidays had long been of the belief that Family Holidays in Kerala<\/a> are among the best in the world and launched our own signature series of packages called P L A Ycations<\/strong> last year which focuses exclusively on families looking for holidays.<\/p>\n

The magazine in its article says<\/p>\n

The chaos, colour and brilliance of India makes it a thrilling choice for family travel. Elephants<\/a>, palaces, castles, trains, beaches<\/a>, jungles and wildlife parks are all ingredients to help keep everyone in the family happy. The intensity of travel in India could put you off taking a trip here en famille, but Kerala is a family-friendly version: more laid-back than other regions, greener, slower paced: even the food is less spicy and sweetened with coconut milk. There are also lots of national parks for elephant spotting, palm-fringed beaches and boat trips along the lush canals of the backwaters.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lonely Planet which also rates Thailand, Denmark, Belize, New York City, Hawaii, Prague, Italy, Iceland and Lapland has also described Sadya – the Traditional Kerala Meal as ” ‘Sadya’, or ‘banquet’ – a colourful Keralan feast to tempt tastebuds of all ages.”<\/p>\n

Kerala Tourism has been bestowed upon with multiple awards in recent years including best holiday destination in Asia<\/a> in 2010 which makes it the best family destination.<\/p>\n
