The following recommendations cover three distinct areas of Kerala: Munnar in the mountains, the city of Cochin on the waterfront, and the thread of rivers and channels that form the Kerala Backwaters. Arrange a guided hike through the Munnar Tea Plantations. Visit the Munnar Tea Museum for an overview of the local industry that put this town on the map. Soak up the flavors of Kerala though a Cooking Class with "Nimi's Culinary Adventures" right next door to the Munnar Visitor Center. Right in Fort Cochin, streets are dusty right outside the big red pivoting door of the boutique Xandari Harbor Hotel.
