Travel to India, Tamil Nadu and Kerala

Travel to India in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala from 22 December 2018 to 6 January 2019 (15 days).

A fascinating journey through South-tropical India, to experience the diversity of landscapes, architecture, culture and above all people, visit the ancient temples of Dravidian India, attend intense ceremonies (puja), visit mystical places and … to attend the classical dances of the South.

Kerala is a tropical wonder, with an idyllic coastline and lush hills. Despite its relative wealth, most of the population in Kerala’s life continues with agriculture, tea, coffee and spice plantations and the coconut industry, which still provides the basic structure of the Region.
