Kerala has been on my to do list for quite a few years now and this year I finally made it over. As a destination is far surpassed my expectations (and they were already high), with an incredible mix of keen locals, an epic race which draws people from all over India and the world, quality wahitewater and the best food I’ve had anywhere in India!
We got super lucky with levels, and had the local run, the Chalipurzha, in flood for a solid two weeks!!! This meant we didn’t get much exploratory paddling done but thats fine, Kerala already has some epic established classics.
