Local Traditions

Kerala is a land where centuries of history and cultural influence come alive through traditional art forms, festivals, and secrets of holistic wellness.

Kerala offers vibrant Kathakali dance performances, Theyyam rituals, demonstrations of the ancient martial art form of Kalaripayattu, and exhilarating Vallam Kali boat races for travelers to experience. Visit during the festive seasons of Onam or Attukal Pongala to experience the celebrations with locals. Rejuvenate the mind and body with Ayurvedic therapies and massages, or shop for local handlooms and handcrafted goods and be dazzled by Kerala’s artistic wealth.

The local agency was able to translate our idea of ​​travel into activities that met our tastes well. Drivers and guides: punctual and available. The local agency was in constant contact with us via WhatsApp. The flexibility on the planned activities was also good. Excursion to Periyar, during the monsoons - it is better to do it with rubber boots. The idea of ​​not limiting yourself to the north (Rajasthan) and including the south (Kerala) is excellent, you go fast and take internal flights but it is worth it. Recommended houseboat in Kerala and tea plantations in Munnar, all the classics of the north including Amber Fort in Jaipur were good. Good idea of ​​dinner with a family in Jaipur.

India has always been in my heart for many years, this is the third time I've been back, even if the last one dates back many years ago. This year I entrusted myself to the agency and I wasn't wrong, they packaged the tour well, with some modifications of my own to shorten the hours in the car. Excellent driver (shish pal), guides all in Italian and very competent, hotels - especially those outside Delhi (historical residences), dinner with a family from Rajasthan (really interesting), traditional dance in Udaipur and visit to the monuments.
