This is a great itinerary for those to want to explore but don’t like being cooped up in a car for too long. Stretch your legs as you explore the coastal roads, it is a great chance to meet the locals, stop off at whatever catches your eye and work off those additional calories that you are bound to imbibe with the delicious Keralan food on offer! Take local ferries, visit temples where they wordship snakes, try kayaking on the backwaters and end it all with a few well-deserved days relaxing on the beach.
