Kerala
Emerald backwaters, misty tea hills, ancient temples, pristine beaches, and world-renowned Ayurveda. Kerala is a complete destination that rejuvenates body, mind, and soul.
Why Kerala?
Kerala is rightly called "God's Own Country" - and once you visit, you'll understand why. This sliver of land between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea packs incredible diversity: serene backwaters, lush tea gardens, dense forests with elephants and tigers, beautiful beaches, and a rich cultural heritage.
For Bangalore travelers, Kerala is incredibly accessible - just an hour's flight or a scenic overnight drive. It's perfect for weekend getaways, honeymoons, family vacations, and Ayurvedic wellness retreats.
