Malabar Trail Tours
The tour is blessed with all the natural faculties which could besiege the heart and minds of travellers at a short glimpse. This 12 day long voyage begins with a bang at the city of Indian Film Industry-Mumbai and proceeds towards the quaint environs of palm fringed beaches of Kerala. National Geographic places Kerala in "One of the 50 greatest destinations list". Travel & Leisure recommends Kerala as "One of the 100 great trips for the 21st century". Once the object of frenzied international attempts to control its lucrative spice trade-ancient Greeks and Romans, medieval Arabs and Chinese and later the Portuguese, Dutch and British all left their mark on the Malabar Coast, its beaches, tranquil backwaters and the distant backdrop of the verdant Western Ghats now exert a magnetic appeal upon the traveller of today.
