of life, in Kerala

Often referred to as “God’s own country”, Kerala is known for its many vibrant festivals, both religious and cultural.

Almost every month of the year, Kerala has a festival for travelers to experience. Onam, Thrissur Pooram, and Vishu are just a few of the festivals that showcase the region's diverse traditions, from colorful celebrations honoring King Mahabali to intricate ritualistic dances depicting divine characters. Kerala plays host to numerous literary, handicraft, and film festivals, to foster dialogue and appreciation of art and literature in their modern forms

Guest Experiences

Served over 23000+ happy travelers

It was a wonderful little spiritual tour (Chennai, Thiruvannamali, Auroville). As a 60-year-old first-time traveler to India, Christina helped me overcome all my concerns and uncertainties beforehand, gave me competent advice, always responded promptly, and spared no effort to make changes to the planning. I had a safe feeling from the start and was impressed by the high level of service. This was confirmed during the trip: everything went perfectly and I had an extra-prima-good time in colorful India. In any case, my driver Seenu and my Auroville guide Anantha Subbarayan also contributed to the unusually good success. I give both of them a standing ovation. Last but not least, my thanks also go to the local agency in Mamallapuram, Travel XS, with whom I hardly had any personal contact.
