- Try authentic cuisine: Enjoy Sadya (vegetarian feast), Kerala fish curry, and appam with stew.
- Use eco-friendly transport: Opt for ferries, bicycles, and certified houseboats.
- Stay hydrated: Kerala can be humid—carry water and wear breathable cotton clothes.
- Learn a few Malayalam phrases: A simple “Namaskaram” (hello) goes a long way.
