An initiative of the Kerala Tourism Board to make Kerala an international shopping destination, this festival gets bigger and better this year. There are free indigenous handicrafts and souvenirs, guaranteed scratch cards on every purchase, loyalty cards, 100% VAT refunds, free Ayurvedic treatments, holiday packages and would you believe me if  I say 101 kilograms of gold to be given away! Packing your bags already? Wait, there is more.

For first time travelers to Kerala, this is a perfect time to visit the state because it will be at its best in hospitality, beauty and splendor. Another special characteristic of the festival is that while it is a melting pot of cultures from across the globe, one still gets to enjoy the distinct Kerala flavour. Starting from the mascot of the festival, an elephant to houseboat stays and indigenous metal and wooden handicrafts, the event is also about enjoying the natural bounty and local talent of this gifted destination. For those who are interested in the art and culture of Kerala, there will be Kathakali dance performances and other cultural shows to entertain; and an art workshop and exhibition too.

Prepare yourself to be taken in by the plush green valleys, spice plantations, dense and luscious forests, backwaters, coconuts and the brilliant shopping opportunities this December and January!
