The Kerala Journal

Planning notes from our team: practical, specific, and written from having actually run these trips rather than researched them.

Planning

Kerala rewards different months for different reasons: cool and clear in winter, lush and quiet through monsoon. Here's how to pick your window.

Backwaters

What to expect on a kettuvallam, how to choose between a day cruise and an overnight stay, and what most first-timers get wrong.

Hills & Wildlife

Both sit in the Western Ghats, but they offer different trips: Munnar for tea-estate scenery, Wayanad for wildlife and rainforest.

Ayurveda & Wellness

Shirodhara, Abhyanga, Panchakarma: what these treatments actually involve, and how to choose a programme that matches your goals.
