Kerala & Tamil Nadu, India

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Kerala and Tamil Nadu together form one of India's most compelling travel corridors along the country's southern tip. Kerala is celebrated for its serene backwaters, lush hill stations like Munnar, Ayurvedic wellness traditions, and wildlife reserves, while its coastline draws beach lovers to spots like Varkala and Kovalam. Tamil Nadu anchors the region culturally, home to some of India's most magnificent Dravidian temple complexes — including Madurai's Meenakshi Amman and the great temples of Thanjavur — alongside the cosmopolitan coastal city of Chennai. Together they attract travellers seeking a mix of nature, spirituality, classical culture, and authentic South Indian cuisine.

Spice Trails of Kerala: Self-Launched Adventure

Trek the Western Ghats, cruise Kerala's backwaters and explore Madurai's temples — all independently, at a fraction of the guided tour price. This self-launched version follows the same spectacular route from Kochi through the tea plantations of Munnar, up to Meesapulimala, across to Periyar National Park and Madurai, then back along the Malabar Coast — swapping group tour infrastructure for local buses, independent guesthouses, and self-booked activities. Estimated costs are approximate and based on current backpacker rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Kerala & Tamil Nadu, India yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
