Proposed trip to Kerala

Thank you to all of those who have messaged me regarding the " Marigold Hotel" inspired trip to Kerala, I have travelled other parts of India a few years ago but not this area before. I would like to be part of a small group, say 4 to six people for between 16 to 30 days, inialy based in Kochi for half of the time then moving on for the rest of the trip. Travel would be in private vehicle with driver which split by a group works out very cheaply per person. I would like to meet up with those of you interested in joining me on this adventure which will be at a leasurely pace. My suggestion is a.weekend break in Norfolk or here in Southern Spain if you prefer. Regarding the cost an educated guesstimate would be between £1500 a £2000 per person which would include flights, accomodation, travel and food, at this stage it's not possable to do an accurate costing as depends so much on accomodation standard chosen by the group and month chosen for trip. Decisions would be made jointly so everyone has Imput.. Two years ago I was part of a group of five people who travelled Costa Rica and Panama following this format which worked out great, travelling this way is so much better value than joining a Travel Tour Company and we worked out that we saved around £1000 per person with independent travel. I know that you do not have the backup should a problem arise but with good Travel Insurance and being team players to stick together and help each other it's a really good way to travel and enjoy other Countries and Cultures, sometimes warts and all. Await your comments and look forward to meeting you as fellow travellers and hopefully good friends for the future.

New to this site today - I am a 69 year old female widow with my family saying I should travel more and India was on my wish list. Your ideas sound like my sort of holiday. I hope we can meet I live in Lincolnshire.

If you are going to India its worth doing the "Golden Triangle" of Delphi, Agra and Jaipur in the north as its a mass of culture and very enjoyable

I could be interested in meeting up for a weekend to discuss. I am new to this site, so not sure how it all works but Kerala is of interest I would be wanting to go for at least 30 days. I may go to other parts of India afterwards...
