Kerala Holiday Packages is more restful than in other places. India may be just one big bazaar, but the Malayalis don’t seem to know about it. In the ancient empires on these shores traders once spun fabulous wealth from spices, ivory and gold, but things are calmer in the modern state of Kerala. You can roam the shops unassailed by wild promises. Touts will not follow you and some shopkeepers have never heard of what you’re looking for. So shop at your own pace, with plenty of time for second opinions, second thoughts and double takes.

Groovy threads

If you just got off your backwater kettuvallom, you are probably still basking in the glow of golden coir, sisal, juteand cane. Alappuzha and other places in Kuttanad specialize in wall mats, carpets, bags, and furniture made with natural fibres, set off with just a suggestion of colour. Haul it all home and you can relive those lazy, drifting afternoons whenever you like. When buying, check for neatly finished edges and make sure there are no mildew spots on pieces that may have been stored through the rainy season. Grass and banana fibre are delicate item: most handicraft emporia carry a wide range of pattu pai or Silky grass mats and soft bags crocheted from banana fibre.

‘old things’

Serious collectors of Chinese ceramics and other antiques will find all sport of goodies in Kochi’s famed Jew Street. Similar treasures can be bound in many smaller town as well, perhaps not in the antiques and handicrafts shops but in simple ‘old things’ shops a spitting distance from the raddiwala. In the neater places, people usually pick up brassinlay caskets and urulis, as well as teapots, tin candlestand and twee little ceramic figurines from decades past, when ‘’English’’ pottery was the sign of high living.
