Mark Atwood takes a languid houseboat cruise amongst these palm-fringed backwaters and experiences a fascinatingly rich journey of the senses...

Welcome to the third edtion of The Royal Reporter. We have a bumper edition for you this month, packed with features, news, offers and expert advice on how to get the most out of your membership with Royal. In our lead feature, we take a look at another side of Kerala, away from the white sand beaches as we explore the state's enchanting backwaters. Then there's Raindrop Tourism - we take a look at why destinations like Goa and Kerala are well worth visiting during the monsoon season. We think you'll be surprised. In our news section, we report on our regular winter refurbishment programme, which ensures that all of our resorts maintain the highest standards of excellence.

We also draw your attention to our sister operation, Karma Resorts, illustrating just how you as Royal members can take advantage of substantial discounts not to mention investment opportunities with this leading six star boutique villa resort brand. We also bring you news of two exciting new resorts in Rajasthan and Kerala, which provide the perfect base for your exploration of these historic states. More added value to Royal Members comes via our burgeoning K Spa brand - find out more in our special Spa section, where curator Judy Chapman also reports on the growth of the spa industry generally throughout the Indian subcontinent. Our regular Q&A section gives you tips and insights from the experts so that you get the greatest holiday benefits from Royal. There's also an opportunity in the edition to give us your feedback via a simple customer comment form we've created and we wrap up this edition with some guest testimonials which will hopefully inspire you all to reap as many benefits as possible from your Royal membership.
