Photography tour Kerala 2012: Treasures of Kerala  |  Kerala photography holidays

An in-depth, up-close Kerala photography tour exploring the treasures of the Malabar Coast.


What images does the place-name Kerala evoke in you? For many people, it's tea and spices, coffee and coconuts, rubber plantations and rice-fields, yoga and Ayurveda, tropical breezes and palmy, balmy beaches — and of course the seductively slow pace and quiet beauty of the waterways and lagoons that make up Kerala's famous Backwaters.

These are treasures indeed, and they form some of the highlights of this carefully planned Kerala photography tour. You'll experience Kerala's most famous attractions, see stunning landscapes and carry many of them away on your camera card, assisted as much or as little as you wish by the tour's professional Shoot Director.

But there's so much more to this land than its emerald-green hills and sleepy bayous. Kerala's rich, ancient and enigmatic culture — Kathakali, Kalaripayattu, Theyyam, Mohiniyattam; the snakeboats, the time-honoured boatbuilding skills and more — can only be experienced by connecting with the local people. Fortunately, because your Shoot Director was born and brought up nearby we're able to give you privileged access, special insights and stunning private photography opportunities that take you and your camera beyond the touristic obvious, deep into the real Kerala: to meet and talk with some of its friendly people, to watch them dance, wrestle, build, train and trade.

These are the makings of stunning travel photography — and of memorable travel encounters. Take a look at the highlights of our Kerala photography holiday.
