Kerala Named among Best Family Travel Destinations for 2014

Known for its amazing backwaters and beaches, Kerala, located in southern India has been named among the world's best family travel destinations for 2014 by Lonely Planet, together with Thailand, Italy, Hawaii, and other destinations. And it truly deserves the honor.

Located in the southeast corner of India, Kerala is a tropical paradise with mild weather, lush tea plantations, national parks for wildlife spotting, and beaches surrounded by tranquil backwaters. Compared with the intensity of travel and frantic pace in North India, particularly Rajasthan, Kerala in the south offers a more laid-back introduction to the sights and colors of the country, making it an ideal getaway for a family.

Things to do with kids in Kerala: get in touch with colonial India in Kochi, stroll through the tea plantations of Munnar, spot unique wildlife in Periyar National Park, cruise through the steamy Kerala backwaters on a houseboat, and relax on the palm-fringed beaches...Kerala has something for every family member.
