Kerala
Backwaters at sunrise, tea hills by noon
Why Kerala
Kerala is built for doing less, better. A private kettuvallam drifting through Alleppey, tea gardens in Munnar you walk into at sunrise, the red cliffs of Varkala, and Wayanad's caves and coffee estates for the greener version. All our Kerala trips use private vehicles rather than group buses, and none of them start before 8 AM.
