Locals call Kerala \u201cGod\u2019s own country\u201d for a reason. Down in India\u2019s most southern state, tranquil backwaters give way to vibrant rainforests and tropical jungles, bursting with spice plantations and wildlife.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a magical little paradise away from everything the usual set of guidebooks often associate with India and the north of the country.<\/p>\n

Like many people travelling to India<\/a> <\/strong>with a full-time job, I really had to pick and choose where I went to get the most out of a fairly short trip. Kerala was on my travel itinerary from the start, and here\u2019s five reasons why it should be on yours too.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s completely unique to the rest of India<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tourist epicenters like Delhi and Jaipur often feel crowded and hectic, yet incredible in their own way. But they aren\u2019t all that India has to offer. Taking a flight from India\u2019s capital down to the state of Kerala only takes a few hours, but it truly feels like a night and day transition. Relaxation practically oozes out of the warm, tropical air, where the pace of life is slower and calmer.<\/p>\n

\"KeralaLanding at Cochin airport, you won\u2019t find hustling auto rickshaws and rushing people. Just palm trees as far as the eye can see.<\/p>\n

Kochi is diverse in every sense, even down to the various religions practiced in India\u2019s most southern state. In Fort Kochi (a must on your travel itinerary) you can see a Hindu Temple, a Church and a Synagogue all practically on the same street, all the while hearing a Muslim call to prayer from a nearby Mosque. You can also find traditional Chinese fishing nets and 16th-<\/sup>century Portuguese houses from the colonial era, all adding to the cultural melting pot that is Kochi today.<\/p>\n

Three must-visit places in Kerala, according to one of Intrepid’s amazing local leaders in India, Sana Jinah<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I recommend Kochi, Munnar and Varkala. Kochi for the history. Munnar for the peaceful vibes, mountains and tea plantations. And Varkala for amazing views of the sea from the cliff\u00a0\u2013 it’s the only beach in India which is next to a cliff!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kerala is one of the best places on Earth to see animals in their natural habitat<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s face it, ethical tourism<\/a><\/strong> is a huge concern wherever you are in the world \u2013 and wherever you are, the only way to see truly animals with a truly clear conscience is in their natural habitat. You can find that here. Within Kerala\u2019s emerald green mountain ranges is the spectacular Periyar National Park, nearly 1,000 square kilometers of jungle, trekking paths and lakes that is bursting with wildlife.<\/p>\n

\"Kerala

Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cLock your balcony to keep out naughty monkeys\u201d, read a sign in my hotel room in the nearby town of Kumily. I thought this was just a joke until I heard the excitable chattering of a troop of monkeys on the roof, making their ways to the trees using my balcony as a shortcut. You\u2019ll find the common Indian monkey everywhere in the small towns surrounding Periyar, but the park itself is home to many more species \u2013 including the illusive black monkey, recognizable from its golden brown or gingery mane.<\/p>\n

Monkey business aside, Periyar is best known as a tiger reserve and one of the few places you can see Bengal tigers outside of captivity. Visit during the month of April to maximize the chance of seeing one.\u00a0 Don\u2019t worry about tiger attacks though \u2013 secure campsites are built into a deep tiger-proof trench.<\/p>\n

I turned up at Periyar National Park woefully out of season in the depths of the monsoon and still managed to see black monkeys, water buffalo and the briefest glimpse of a figure running ahead of us \u2013 which my guide later said was a jaguar. Plan ahead and if you\u2019re lucky you\u2019ll see a tiger or an elephant in the way that nature intended.<\/p>\n

VISIT PERIYAR NATIONAL PARK ON THIS 15-DAY ADVENTURE THROUGH SOUTHERN INDIA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The landscape is dreamy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Wake up on one of the long wooden houseboats that glide along the tranquil Kerala backwaters and you\u2019ll think you\u2019ve arrived in paradise. Much of Kerala\u2019s appeal is its dramatic diversity, the way in which the low-lying tropical beaches and lakes meet the towering hills and tea plantations of the Western Ghats.<\/p>\n

\"Kerala

An Intrepid group trekking in the Kerala backwaters<\/p><\/div>\n

The main reason many travellers come to Kerala is, of course, to experience the famous backwaters. Essentially the backwaters are a complex chain of lakes and lagoons leading inland from the Malabar Coast. After a long few months travelling or a stressful period at work, I can\u2019t think of anywhere else in the world I\u2019d rather be.<\/p>\n

Once used for transporting rice and spices around the state, the long wooden houseboats are now mostly for tourists \u2013 some even have onboard Jacuzzis and personal chefs. You can spend a few days traversing the maze of backwaters, or just a day as I did. Either way it will be an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n

VISIT THE BACKWATERS OF KERALA ON THIS 15-DAY SOUTH INDIA TOUR<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Travel away from the coast for a few hours and you could be in a totally different country, given the steep change in scenery. I stayed in the aptly named Cardamom Hills, where the sweet and dreamlike scent of its namesake permeates the air. The idyllic growing conditions mean you\u2019re likely to spot (or more likely smell) coffee, pepper or tea plantations on your ascent up the hills.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have the best meal of your life, three times a day<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"KeralaI won\u2019t hesitate to say that the best food<\/a><\/strong> I\u2019ve ever eaten was in Kerala. Picture delicate spices, intricate mild flavour with short, sour spikes of heat, rather than the intense spice and notorious traveller stomach complaints often associated with Northern Indian cuisine.<\/p>\n

The real star of the show is the Kerala-style dosa, a paper-thin crepe about the length of your arm that can be loaded with coconut chutney, masala potatoes and a sour lentil and tamarind broth known as Sambar. This is traditionally served for breakfast, but you can find it all day long in one of Kerala\u2019s many restaurants and homesteads. Kerala\u2019s close connection to the Arabian Sea means that fresh fish is never off the menu. Try it fried up and served on a banana leaf with that omnipresent coconut chutney.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just the food that makes Kerala unique. Where else in the world can you turn up at a tea factory, gaze across at the fields where the tea leaves were grown and drink the freshest cup of your life?<\/p>\n

\"Kerala<\/p>\n

Lose yourself in a yoga retreat<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kerala is the spiritual home of Ayurveda, one of the world\u2019s best-known forms of alternative medicine, which puts a heavy focus on yoga and meditation. Whether you\u2019re a seasoned yogi or don\u2019t know your dharma from your downward dog, there\u2019s something for you.<\/p>\n

The infectiously good vibes in India\u2019s most Southern state mean you\u2019ll probably be in a state of relaxation from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, and there\u2019s no better way to take advantage of that than yoga.<\/p>\n

SUBSCRIBE TO INTREPID’S NEWSLETTER FOR TRAVEL TIPS, COMPETITIONS, GIVEAWAYS & MORE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Spiritual people travel from all over the world to Kerala\u2019s Ayurveda academies to learn about the practice, most notably to the schools in Ernakulam (just outside Kochi) and in Kollam to the south. If that\u2019s not your bag, you can take in the lifestyle for just a few days in one of the tranquil yoga retreats tucked away in the Western Ghats.<\/p>\n

They say the monsoon season is the best time to practise yoga. Just as the short bursts of heavy rain are nature\u2019s way of revitalising the land, being here at this time can have a totally cleansing effect on your body.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s more than just a holiday.<\/p>\n
