Why we love it
“There’s a reason they nickname Kerala ‘God’s own country.’ This beautiful part of Southern India is famous for its green tea fields, stunning coastline, cruising backwaters, and huge spice plantations. It was once a key trading post in the spice race, and our nemo guides will fascinate you with the area’s history. It might be small, but this little state packs an awe-inspiring punch!”
