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.
