Local Festivals from Homestays\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When staying in a homestay or exploring more rural areas of Kerala, you can generally tailor a visit to a local festival. Bombastic, musical and energetic, you can expect lots of performances, religious ceremonies and whole communities coming together celebrating on the streets. Similar to village fairs in the UK, all ages are involved and there&#8217;s a really inclusive and happy atmosphere. Do note that there won&#8217;t be lots of other travellers around so you may be asked for pictures with the\u00a0locals by the locals.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC03730-e1459845527336.jpg\" alt=\"DSC03730\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"8292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC03730-e1459845527336.jpg 800w, https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC03730-e1459845527336-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC03730-e1459845527336-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC03730-e1459845527336-585x439.jpg 585w, https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC03730-e1459845527336-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I went to a festival in Kandath Tharavad, north of Kerala&#8217;s capital Cochin. It involved huge wooden carts dressed elaborately, pushed through the town by elephants. I thought my blonde fiance Clodagh would be the centre of attention but in the end the boys were more interested in being in a picture with me.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the entire event was definitely the drumming and dancing in the temple. It went on for half an hour and had clearly been going on for a couple of hours before that &#8211; quite a commitment! The village elder, who was apparently 80, was dancing all that time and I haven&#8217;t seen someone look so happy in a crowded warm environment since I was a young man enjoying London&#8217;s nightlife.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9W47-i9xe20?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a fantastic place to buy complete tat \u2013 I managed to find a drumming plastic duck as a gift to my colleagues at Experience Travel Group&#8217;s London office.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC03728-e1459789209115.jpg\" alt=\"DSC03728\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"8288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC03728-e1459789209115.jpg 800w, https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC03728-e1459789209115-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC03728-e1459789209115-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC03728-e1459789209115-585x439.jpg 585w, https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC03728-e1459789209115-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>7.

The site overlooks the Periyar River where you can canoe and explore at your own pace. You can also borrow bicycles and ride through forests and tour nearby rubber plantations.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight is the bird watching tour around the local area. The guides from the Hornbill Camp are first class and can are able to spot and identify all the birds you will see on the walk. This region of India, called the Western Ghats, boasts over 450 species of birds and a stay at the Hornbill Camp will enthrall nature lovers. From the Oriental Bay Owl, to Kingfishers, to the iconic Hornbill,\u00a0the sheer diversity is astounding.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A8e42eqhpK0?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-ea5fd3cf-542b-4a44-8438-e145cdfebe88\" class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\"><span id=\"hs-cta-ea5fd3cf-542b-4a44-8438-e145cdfebe88\" class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-ea5fd3cf-542b-4a44-8438-e145cdfebe88\"><!-- [if lte IE 8]>\n\n\n<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>\n\n\n< ![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/2512862\/ea5fd3cf-542b-4a44-8438-e145cdfebe88\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"hs-cta-img-ea5fd3cf-542b-4a44-8438-e145cdfebe88\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/2512862\/ea5fd3cf-542b-4a44-8438-e145cdfebe88.png\" alt=\"Visit our extensive India page \" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Sampling the food<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As with any trip to India, the food is a particular highlight and this is especially true for Kerala where there are a range of curries, seafood and vegetarian and &#8216;non-vegetarian&#8217; dishes. The actual word &#8216;Kerala&#8217; translates into the &#8216;land of coconuts&#8217; and food tends to consist of a lot of coconut to thicken and flavour recipes. Compared to the rest of India, it&#8217;s much more creamy and fragrant and the region is also known for its buttery range of breads that are a perfect accompaniment to the curries.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG-20160323-WA0002-2-e1459846768207.jpg\" alt=\"IMG-20160323-WA0002 (2)\" width=\"800\" height=\"452\" data-id=\"8294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG-20160323-WA0002-2-e1459846768207.jpg 800w, https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG-20160323-WA0002-2-e1459846768207-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG-20160323-WA0002-2-e1459846768207-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG-20160323-WA0002-2-e1459846768207-585x331.jpg 585w, https:\/\/archive.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG-20160323-WA0002-2-e1459846768207-150x85.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The food was so good that on my final lunch &#8216;the last supper&#8217; I couldn&#8217;t decide between a <em>thali<\/em> and a stuffed <em>paratha<\/em> so I ordered both.
