Kerala, "God's Own Country", is India's most relaxing holiday: misty tea hills in Munnar, spice gardens and wildlife in Thekkady, a night drifting on a houseboat in the backwaters and palm-fringed beaches to finish. It is a favourite for honeymooners and families from Lucknow.
Kerala's highlights
- Munnar: rolling tea estates, Eravikulam National Park, waterfalls and viewpoints.
- Thekkady: Periyar wildlife boating, spice plantations and Kathakali and martial-arts shows.
- Alleppey and Kumarakom: the backwaters — an overnight houseboat cruise is the highlight of most trips.

- Athirappilly: Kerala's largest waterfall, near Kochi.
- Kanyakumari: the southern tip of India, where three seas meet.
