10 days
Kerala for families
Ten days planned around what children enjoy doing.
All journeys
The usual Kerala places, arranged for a family: shorter drives, more doing than looking, and a beach at the end instead of a dash to the airport.
Cycling at Alleppey, a cooking class, a night on a boat, the spice garden at Periyar, and a walk through the tea instead of a view of it from the car.
