Malabar Delights

altern

Tropical warmth slows the pace of life from the rush and hubub.


A breathtaking vista of silent valleys clothed in the richest green. High in the backdrop of the western ghats are tea plantations, whilst down on the coast nestle palm-fringed beaches. Experience all the highlights of this region that can really be called God's own country.
