Kerala Backwaters
If thoughts of frenzied, bustling cities, overcrowded trains and crazily driven rickshaws are putting you off travelling in India, the lazy, languid Kerala backwaters might be a good place to start. The labyrinthine network of lush, tropical lagoons is best explored by houseboat, and is equally beautiful on moonlit nights and misty mornings. You can even grab breakfast from the coconut and banana trees which shade the waters.
