Unlike the business minded made-for-profit tours that are there a-plenty, the Kerala culture tour is more people to people oriented. 

This tour is aimed especially for the traveller who wants to get off the beaten track getting more out of their holiday than just taking photos and ticking off tourist landmarks.

To relax at the secluded Secret beach or when visiting an emerging nature lover’s hill-station with it’s beautiful climate as in Mananthavadi, Wayanad, we want our guests to experience and be exposed to:

» the  arts, customs and lifestyle of an everyday  Keralite.
» taste our cuisine just like a Kerala family would have their daily food.
» see places that are not just beautiful but also less crowded and more meaningful adding more    value to your holiday.

In the process, we hope to foster understanding between people of different cultures, create new friendships, thereby taking a small but important step towards making this world a better place.
