Kerala’s backwaters without a houseboat
Skip the overnight houseboat. A government ferry, a village canoe and a night in a homestay show you more of Kerala’s backwaters for a fraction of the cost.
Ubud without the crowds
Early-morning rice terraces, the Campuhan Ridge walk and quieter alternatives to Bali’s busiest spots around Ubud.
Munnar’s tea country on foot
Skip the viewpoint-hopping taxi tour. Munnar is best explored slowly on foot, through tea estates, misty ridges and small hill villages.
Fort Kochi in a day: a slow walking route
Chinese fishing nets at sunrise, old churches, spice warehouses and Jew Town: a one-day walking route through Fort Kochi and Mattancherry.
