Kerala is known as the “land of spices”, with records of the ancient spice trade dating back 3000 years.

Kerala is a foodie's paradise, offering a dazzling array of aromatic spices and the freshest seafood. The cuisine is characterized by its use of rice, coconut, and spices such as cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. Avial, Fish Curry, and Appam are staples, while Sadya, a feast served on banana leaves, is served during the festive season. Desserts, like Payasam and Pazham Pori, offer a sweet finale to this delicious experience.

Guest Experiences

Served over 23000+ happy travelers

We have just come back from a trip to Tamil Nadu (India). Our experience with Travel XS has been really good. We wanted a very specific trip and organization because we had a friend's wedding in the middle of the trip. They knew how to adapt the trip to our needs very well. The drivers we had were really professional, punctual and clean, as well as friendly. Our communication with the travel agent was clear and he always answered very quickly to our questions or needs. The guides were amazing, the trips, the temples... we are really happy with this experience and for sure we will use Travel XS services in our future trips. Thank you!
