Everyone comes to Kerala for the backwaters, and they are every bit as dreamy as promised. But linger a little longer and the state reveals its quieter treasures.
Climb into the hills of Munnar, where tea gardens ripple to the horizon and the air turns cool and green. A colonial bungalow here is one of India's great romantic stays.
