Planning your Kerala trip

Palm-fringed backwaters, mist-wrapped tea hills and slow Ayurvedic mornings — Kerala earns its “God’s Own Country” billing and works beautifully for couples and families alike. Our Kerala tour packages pair an Alleppey or Kumarakom houseboat night with the tea estates of Munnar, the wildlife of Thekkady and a beach finish at Kovalam or Varkala. No visa, no jet lag — just private transfers, hand-picked stays and a route paced exactly the way you want.

Why visit Kerala

Few destinations fit so much variety into one easy, domestic trip — and it’s all within a few hours’ drive of each other.

  • Backwater houseboats — a private night afloat on the Alleppey or Kumarakom backwaters is the trip’s signature experience.
  • Munnar tea country — rolling emerald tea estates, cool air and viewpoints make a perfect hill-station break.
  • Thekkady (Periyar) — spice plantations and a lake-side wildlife reserve with boat safaris.
  • Beaches & Ayurveda — unwind at Kovalam or the cliffs of Varkala, with authentic Ayurvedic spa treatments to match.

What to see — backwaters, hills & beaches

  • Alleppey & Kumarakom: the classic backwater belt — houseboat cruises, village canals and Vembanad Lake.
  • Munnar: tea-estate drives, Eravikulam National Park and crisp hill-station evenings.
  • Thekkady (Periyar): spice gardens, a boat ride on Periyar Lake and nature walks.
  • Fort Kochi: Chinese fishing nets, colonial lanes, cafés and Kathakali performances.
  • Kovalam & Varkala: lighthouse beaches and dramatic clifftop sunsets to end the trip.
Our most-booked route is a Munnar–Thekkady–Alleppey loop over 4–6 nights, often finishing with a couple of relaxed beach days at Kovalam or Varkala.

How to reach Kerala

Kerala is well connected by air from across India. Kochi (COK) is the most central gateway for the backwaters and hills, Trivandrum (TRV) is closest to Kovalam and Varkala, and Calicut (CCJ) serves the north. As a domestic trip there’s no visa needed — we arrange flights, private transfers and a driver-cum-guide so you simply land and unwind.

Kerala packages — FAQs

  • How much does a Kerala tour package cost?

    Our Kerala tour packages range from around ₹15,300 per person for a short 3-night trip to about ₹24,500 per person for a 7-night itinerary, on a twin-sharing land-package basis. The exact cost depends on your stays, houseboat category and season — share your dates for a precise quote.

  • Do I need a visa to visit Kerala?

    No. Kerala is within India, so domestic travellers need no visa — just a valid government ID for check-ins and flights. We handle your flights, transfers and stays end to end.

  • What is the best time to visit Kerala?

    September to March is ideal — cool, dry and lush green after the monsoon, perfect for backwaters, Munnar and the beaches. June to August brings heavy but scenic monsoon rain and is the traditional season for Ayurveda. We plan your route around the season you travel.

  • Which airport should I fly into for Kerala?

    Kochi (COK) is the most central gateway for the backwaters, Munnar and Thekkady. Trivandrum (TRV) is closest to Kovalam and Varkala beaches, and Calicut (CCJ) serves northern Kerala. We pick the best entry and exit airports for your itinerary.

  • How many days do you need for Kerala?

    A focused trip covering Munnar, Alleppey and Fort Kochi works well in 4–5 nights. To add Thekkady and a relaxed beach finish at Kovalam or Varkala, we recommend 6–7 nights at an unhurried pace.

  • Is Kerala good for honeymoons and families?

    Both, beautifully. Couples love the private houseboat nights, hill-station stays and Ayurvedic spa time, while families enjoy the wildlife boat rides at Thekkady, the tea gardens and easy, scenic drives. We tailor every itinerary to your group.
