This week on The Pod Well Travelled, Travel Editor Stephen Scourfield discusses travelling the southern Indian state of Kerala, specifically its capital Thiruvananthapuram, with host Megan French.

From visiting one of the richest and most mysterious temples in the world, to witnessing the work of legendary Indian artist colloquially dubbed the “father of modern Indian Art” – the pair offer an insightful glimpse into travelling “alternative” India, away from the tourist trail. 

Having travelled through the subcontinent more than a dozen times, Stephen shares his expert top tips on exploring the destination home to more than 1.4 billion people.

At the end of the show Stephen mentions a travel story he wrote about riding India’s Route 66 on his Royal Enfield. To read his “favourite story ever", click on the link below or visit thewest.com.au.
