ABOUT TOUR
Kerala, popular with honeymooners for its luxury and beauty, is our favourite state in India for smooth & scenic rides. We still enjoy the eccentricities of India, with some short stretches through town centres between long open roads in the mountains, forests and along the coast. We advise this tour for all seekers of the wonders of India without the over-stimulation of some of the Northern regions. A true tropical paradise.
