Travel Tips
-
The level of spice served in Kerala food is medium. You can guide the chef / resort / waiter about your choice of taste in spices and other ingredients. -
Smoking is banned in public places in Kerala by court order and you are liable to be prosecuted if you smoke in public. -
It is recommended by experts when you book any Kerala holiday package, take the package with breakfast only. In this way you can start the day with a meal in your hotel and can have lunch or dinner when you go for sightseeing. -
Take a houseboat ride in the Backwaters to experience the real Kerala in the full glory of its rural life. -
Rejuvenate yourself with an exotic Ayurvedic body massage. Monsoon season is considered best for this. -
Once this is finalized, you can book your tickets to Kerala. While booking onward journey, it’s always advisable to book up to Cochin. Trivandrum is another option – book up to Trivandrum only if your first destination is Kovalam or Kanyakumari. Calicut is good only if your first destination is Wayanad. -
Indian customers, keep any valid Govt. approved identity proof of yourselves for checking in to the hotels and airlines.
