A houseboat drifting palm-lined canals with dinner cooked on board, spice plantations climbing the hills behind, and a stretch of coast where Ayurveda is not a spa gimmick but the actual local medicine.
The best time to visit Kerala's backwaters is Oct–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 33°C (91°F).
