Immortality is Kerala’s business, and business is very, very good. According to statistics, Keralans live longer than anyone else in India, and you’d be hard pressed to find a nicer place to spend eternity. Nestled in the shade of the Western Ghats, the restorative powers of this improbably lush fantasyland hit you immediately. Our treatment—sorry, trip—takes us from Kochi, a seaside city once the seat of its own kingdom, to the spice and tea plantations of the Munnar hills, and includes instruction in ayurveda, the ancient holistic life-science that treats the soul as well as the body, and a leisurely float across Vembanad Lake aboard your own private houseboat. Traveller, heal thyself.
