All about the Kerala-Gods Own Country Tour.

Duration: 06 Nights / 07 Days
Location: Cochin – Kottayam- Periyar – Kumarakom – Alleppey – Cochin

Kerala has a distinctive cuisine, very unusual and different from the rest of India. Kerala is tantalizingly attractive, so is its cuisine, tilted towards the liberal use of fresh coconuts and spices. Chutneys and pickles seem to be an inevitable part of the cuisine. From simple vegetarian food to sophisticated sea food, all occupy a prized place in Kerala cuisine. A variety of non-vegetarian dishes are also a part of the cuisine. One of the best features of Kerala cuisine is that use of oil, sugar and artificial additives is kept to a minimum, which makes it healthy. From exploring the historical gems of Cochin to a stay at Phillipkutty farm, visits to the Spice Village & a houseboat stay, this tour promises to be satiating for all your senses!
