Get on the train, of course. Get on board and go from the deep south of Kochi up the east coast towards bustling Kolkata, disembarking to explore temples and palaces along the way. You’ll have the chance to explore smaller cities and villages on the coast, getting a perspective on this country that few have the opportunity to experience.

9-Night Essene Kerala Tour
Serenity and tranquility abound when you are surrounded by the diverse beauty of Kerala. The area that runs along the coast offers both the scenic beauty of the towering mountains covered with spice and tea plantations, and the pristine beaches with white sugary sand and azure waters. The webs of channels that connect the backwaters are not just the lifeline of the locals, but a paradise for the tourists and migratory birds, as well.
