Highlights of Northern Kerala
8 Days - From £900 pp
This 8-day trip through the northern region of tropical Kerala highlights the raw natural beauty of this region. North Kerala is far less visited than other areas in the country, and therefore allows travelers to journey through and explore places away from the tourist trail. Expect to find misty rainforest covered mountains, spectacular views, serene waterways and deserted beaches in this magical part of India.
Day 1 - Welcome to India!
This morning your overnight flight arrives in to Calicut, and your journey through northern Kerala begins. Your driver and guide will greet you at Calicut Airport and transport you into the mountains of Wayanad. We’ve not planned anything for this afternoon to allow you to recover from your flight so relax, enjoy the views or explore at your own pace.
