Tranquil stretches of backwaters. Lush hill stations and exotic wildlife. Waterfalls. Sprawling plantations and paddy fields. Ayurvedic health holidays. Enchanting art forms. Magical festivals. Historic and cultural monuments, exotic cuisine... all of which offer you a unique experience. Kerala, India's most advanced society, with one hundred percent literacy. World-class health care systems. India's lowest infant mortality and highest life expectancy rates. The highest physical quality of life in India. Peaceful and pristine, Kerala is India's cleanest State. In a mood of profound atonement, the sage heaved his mighty axes into the midst of the distant ocean. The waves foamed and frothed as a prawn-shaped land extending from Gokarnam to Kanyakumari surfaced from the depths of the sea to form the State and hence the sobriquet 'Gods Own Country'.

Village tour at Kumbalangi with Christone Holidays
In the quaint village of Kumbalangi, nestled along the serene backwaters of Kochi, life moved at a tranquil pace. The village was a picturesque tableau of lush paddy fields, swaying coconut palms, and traditional Chinese fishing nets silhouetted against the golden hues of the setting sun. Amidst this idyllic setting, Christone Holidays, was making a big impact. Run by the passionate and enthusiastic Anjali and her husband Rajesh, Christone Holidays specialized in providing authentic local experiences to tourists. Their mission was simple: to let visitors immerse themselves in the soul of Kumbalangi, far from the typical tourist trails. One bright morning, as the village awoke to the melody of chirping birds and the gentle lapping of water against the banks, Christone Holidays welcomed a group of travelers. Among them was a family from Mumbai—Naina, her husband Arjun, and their curious seven-year-old son, Aarav. Anjali greeted them with a warm smile. "Welcome to Kumbalangi," she said, handing each of them a fresh coconut to sip from. "Today, you'll experience the true essence of our village." Their first stop was a traditional Keralan homestead. As they entered, the earthy aroma of spices wafted through the air. Naina was delighted to see an elderly woman, Amma, demonstrating how to grind spices using a stone mill. Aarav, his eyes wide with curiosity, eagerly joined in. Later, Rajesh took them on a canoe ride through the narrow canals. The water was crystal clear, reflecting the vibrant green of the mangroves. "Look, Mama, a kingfisher!" Aarav exclaimed, pointing excitedly. Rajesh smiled, sharing stories of the local wildlife and the importance of preserving this fragile ecosystem. As the sun dipped lower in the sky, casting a warm glow over the village, the group arrived at a small island where a sumptuous feast awaited them. Traditional dishes like appam, fish curry, and payasam were served on banana leaves. The flavors were rich and varied, each bite telling a story of the region's rich culinary heritage. The evening concluded with a mesmerizing performance of Kathakali, the classical dance-drama of Kerala. Aarav was especially fascinated by the vibrant costumes and dramatic expressions of the performers. Anjali explained the tales being depicted, enriching the experience for everyone. As they bid farewell to Kumbalangi, Naina felt a deep sense of gratitude. "This has been more than just a holiday," she said to Anjali and Rajesh. "It feels like we've been welcomed into your home and your hearts." Anjali smiled, her eyes reflecting the warmth of the village. "That is the spirit of Kumbalangi," she said. "And it is our joy to share it with the world." With hearts full and memories etched in their minds, the family returned to Mumbai, carrying a piece of Kumbalangi with them—a piece of tranquility, beauty, and the simple joy of living in harmony with nature. And back in the village, Anjali and Rajesh prepared to welcome their next guests, ready to share the magic of Christone Holidays once more.

Kannur – The Crown of North Kerala
Where the rhythm of the sea meets the soul of Theyyam – with Christone Holidays.
Journey north from Calicut and you’ll find yourself in Kannur, the cultural heartbeat of North Kerala — a land where tradition dances to the rhythm of the waves. Known as the Land of Looms and Lores, Kannur is a captivating blend of pristine beaches, ancient forts, sacred rituals, and handloom heritage. Start your discovery at the St. Angelo Fort, majestically overlooking the Arabian Sea. Built by the Portuguese in 1505, its ancient walls whisper tales of maritime power and colonial encounters. The view of the waves crashing against the red laterite cliffs is pure magic. Just beyond the fort lies Payyambalam Beach, a long stretch of golden sand that’s perfect for a quiet evening stroll or a mesmerizing sunset. For those seeking peace and natural beauty, Muzhappilangad Drive-in Beach — India’s longest drive-in beach — offers an unforgettable experience. Drive along the firm sands as the sea sprays beside you; it’s freedom in motion, the kind of memory Christone Holidays loves to create. Kannur’s coastline hides many gems — from the serene Meenkunnu Beach to the charming fishing hamlet of Thottada, where life slows to a soothing rhythm. But the soul of Kannur beats strongest in its Theyam performances — the spectacular ritual dance of the gods. Held in temple courtyards, Theyam is not just a performance but a living tradition, where myth, devotion, and color come alive. Witnessing Theyam with Christone Holidays offers an insight into Kerala’s sacred heritage unlike any other. For culture enthusiasts, a visit to the Arakkal Museum, Kerala’s only royal Muslim dynasty museum, unveils the fascinating history of the Arakkal family — rulers of the Cannanore kingdom.

A houseboat cruise here offers a dreamlike escape — where coconut palms reflect on still waters and life moves at the rhythm of oars. It’s the perfect offbeat experience that Christone Holidays curates for travelers looking to explore Kerala beyond the ordinary. Kasaragod is also home to diverse cultural and spiritual experiences. The Ananthapura Lake Temple, floating gracefully on a natural spring-fed lake, is the only lake temple in Kerala and believed to be the original seat of Lord Ananthapadmanabha. Equally fascinating is the Madhur Temple, dedicated to Lord Ganesha, celebrated for its intricate carvings and historic charm. Not far away, the Malik Dinar Mosque, founded by one of the earliest Muslim missionaries to India, stands as a symbol of Kerala’s centuries-old coexistence of faiths. The Ranipuram Hills, often called the “Ooty of Kasaragod,” invite nature lovers with misty peaks, trekking trails, and a cool mountain breeze — a refreshing contrast to the coastal plains below. Each place in Kasaragod reflects the soul of Kerala’s northern heritage — vibrant, peaceful, and deeply rooted in history. From backwater cruises and beach walks to heritage tours and temple visits, every experience here connects travelers to the true essence of Kerala’s natural and cultural beauty.

Story: The Enchanted Trails of Idukki
Nestled deep in the heart of Kerala’s Western Ghats, Idukki is a paradise woven with green hills, crystal-clear waterfalls, spice-scented valleys, and serene wildlife sanctuaries. Every curve of its winding mountain roads reveals a new world — of peace, wilderness, and wonder. With Christone Holidays, journey through this emerald district where nature writes poetry in every shade of green.
🌿 Thattekkad Bird Sanctuary – Kerala’s Birding Paradise
Your Idukki journey begins at Thattekkad Bird Sanctuary, Kerala’s first bird sanctuary and one of India’s richest biodiversity zones. Designed by the legendary ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali, this sanctuary is home to over 300 species of birds, including the Malabar Grey Hornbill, Ceylon Frogmouth, and White-bellied Treepie.
Walk the forest trails at dawn to hear nature’s orchestra come alive — a must for photographers and nature lovers alike.
🌸 Munnar – The Queen of Hill Stations
Climb higher into the misty embrace of Munnar, Kerala’s most loved hill station. Rolling tea gardens, silvery waterfalls, and colonial-era bungalows create a timeless charm. Explore Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr, and feel the clouds at Rajamala.
Take a scenic drive through Marayur, known for its sandalwood forests and prehistoric dolmens, and capture the surreal beauty of Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary nearby.
At Mattupetty Dam and Echo Point, the hills echo your laughter, while Kundala Lake invites you to paddle across its still waters surrounded by blooming Neelakurinji once every 12 years.
🫖 Thekkady – Where Wilderness Meets Spice
From the serenity of Munnar, descend into the lush forests of Thekkady, the gateway to Periyar Tiger Reserve. Enjoy a peaceful boat ride on Periyar Lake, where elephants, deer, and bison wander freely along the shores.
Thekkady is also Kerala’s spice capital — walk through fragrant cardamom plantations, visit spice markets, and witness the harmony between nature and culture.
🌄 Kuttikkanam, Peermade & Vagamon – The Road Less Travelled
The route from Munnar to Vagamon via Peermade and Kuttikkanam is one of Kerala’s most breathtaking drives. Winding roads cut through tea gardens, pine forests, and mist-covered valleys — a photographer’s dream and a traveler’s delight.
At Peermade, discover colonial-era planters’ bungalows and coffee estates, while Kuttikkanam offers mist-laden trails perfect for picnics and quiet reflection.
Finally, you arrive at Vagamon, the land of rolling meadows, paragliding adventures, and serene lakes. Often called Kerala’s hidden Switzerland, Vagamon’s untouched beauty and cool breeze make it a perfect end to your Idukki journey.

Every turn reveals a new feathered jewel. Thattekad never disappoints.
Nestled on the banks of the Periyar River in Kerala, Thattekad Bird Sanctuary is a lush, green oasis celebrated as a premier destination for birdwatchers and nature lovers. Famously dubbed the "Richest Bird Habitat in Peninsular India" by the legendary ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali, this sanctuary is a living testament to its vibrant avian population. The landscape is a beautiful mix of tropical evergreen and semi-evergreen forests, interspersed with moist deciduous patches and grasslands. This diverse habitat, crisscrossed by small streams and the mighty Periyar, creates the perfect environment for over 300 species of birds. Key Highlights & What to Expect: A Birder's Pilgrimage: Follow in the footsteps of Dr. Salim Ali. The sanctuary is a treasure trove for spotting rare and endemic species. The most sought-after resident is the elusive Sri Lankan Frogmouth. Other star attractions include the Malabar Grey Hornbill, the Malabar Parakeet, the brilliant Crimson-backed Sunbird, and the majestic Great Pied Hornbill. Beyond Birds: While birds are the main attraction, the sanctuary is also home to a variety of wildlife, including Indian Elephants, Leopards, Sloth Bears, and several species of deer and reptiles, making every safari an exciting prospect. Riverine Beauty: The presence of the Periyar River adds a serene dimension to the experience. The sight of birds fishing and thriving along the riverbanks is a common and delightful sight. Ideal Visiting Experience: The best time to visit is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant, and migratory birds join the resident species. Early morning walks along the well-maintained trails, accompanied by the expert local guides, offer the most rewarding sightings as the forest awakens.
Enjoy the captivating hill station of Kerala.

Story: Through the Misty Roads of Mundakayam to Vagamon
The journey begins as you drive through the winding Mundakayam Ghat, one of Kerala’s most breathtaking mountain passes. The road rises gracefully, curling through tea gardens and spice valleys, with every turn revealing another layer of mist and melody. The scent of cardamom drifts in the air, the mountains hum with birdsong, and the cool breeze carries the promise of something extraordinary ahead. As you climb higher, Vagamon unfolds like a dream. Known as the Switzerland of Kerala, this serene hill station in Idukki is a blend of lush meadows, rolling hills, and endless horizons. It’s not just a destination—it’s a feeling of calm, adventure, and connection. Your first stop is Kurisumala, the “Mountain of the Cross,” where the gentle hills and serene monasteries radiate peace. Pilgrims and trekkers alike find solace here — watching the sun rise over the mist-covered valleys, painting the sky in shades of orange and gold. A short drive ahead lies Ilaveezha Poonchira, a panoramic valley surrounded by three majestic hillocks. Its name means “the flower pond where leaves do not fall,” and as legend says, this was once the bathing place of celestial maidens. Today, it’s one of Kerala’s best viewpoints — where clouds float below your feet and the world feels still. Continue your journey to the breathtaking Parunthumpara Viewpoint, also called “Eagle Rock.” From here, the Western Ghats roll endlessly into the horizon, with deep valleys and green carpets stretching as far as the eye can see. It’s a place for quiet wonder — and for travellers to simply stand still and breathe. Descend into the heart of Vagamon Pine Forest, where towering pines rise like cathedral pillars, and sunlight filters through in golden beams. The silence here is sacred — broken only by the whisper of the wind and the crunch of leaves beneath your feet. Beyond the forest, the landscape opens to the Barren Hills, also known as Motta Kunnu. These smooth, rolling meadows change colour with the seasons — lush green after monsoon, golden under the summer sun. They invite you to wander, sit, and lose yourself in nature’s simplicity. At last, you reach Vagamon Lake, a tranquil mirror reflecting the sky. Paddle across its still waters, surrounded by gentle slopes and soft breezes — the perfect ending to a day spent among Kerala’s highland wonders.

Let us craft your journey where culture meets calm, and every horizon tells a story.
The Cultural Heart of Central Kerala
Cradled between the Vembanad backwaters and the misty Western Ghats, Kottayam is a district that embodies Kerala’s charm in every sense — rich in culture, crowned by nature, and steeped in stories that flow as gently as its rivers. Known as the Land of Letters, Lakes, and Latex, Kottayam beautifully balances heritage with the rhythm of rural life. Start your journey through Kottayam’s green countryside, where endless stretches of rubber plantations roll over the hills. The scent of latex blends with the cool breeze drifting from the Vembanad Lake, Kerala’s largest freshwater lake. Here, life moves at the pace of a boat — slow, peaceful, and poetic. A short drive brings you to Kumarakom, the crown jewel of Kottayam’s backwater belt. Glide through mirror-still canals shaded by coconut palms, where herons take flight and fishermen cast their nets with timeless grace. Visit the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, a haven for migratory birds from across the world — from Siberian storks to egrets and darters. The stillness of dawn here feels almost sacred. In the heart of the town, Thirunakkara Mahadeva Temple stands as a symbol of Kottayam’s devotion and artistry, known for its mural paintings and annual festivals that light up the night with music and colour. A short distance away, the Ettumanoor Mahadeva Temple glows with centuries-old oil lamps, its wooden carvings and gold-plated roof showcasing Kerala’s intricate craftsmanship. For history and literature lovers, Kottayam holds a special place — it was the first town in India to achieve 100% literacy, and home to Malayalam printing and publishing. Wander through Baselios College Hill, where the scent of old books and the echo of typewriters recall Kerala’s literary awakening. Venture further to Illickal Kallu, a dramatic hilltop viewpoint where clouds roll beneath your feet and the world stretches endlessly below. For the adventurous, Poonjar Palace and Vaikom unfold tales of royal legacy and temple traditions that have stood the test of time. The nearby villages of Aymanam and Thazhathangady preserve Kerala’s soul in every frame — wooden houses, narrow waterways, and a way of life that hasn’t changed for centuries. It’s here that you truly understand the quiet power of Kottayam — a district that celebrates both simplicity and depth.
