Every package includes:
- Hotels in your chosen category, with daily breakfast

- Airport or railway station pickup and drop in Kochi (or Trivandrum where the tour ends there)

Kerala Tour Packages from Delhi and Gurgaon
Planning a Kerala trip from Delhi is simple: Delhi to Kochi is about three and a half hours non-stop, with several flights a day. Any Kerala package from Delhi can include your flights, or we can meet you at Kochi arrivals if you've booked your own. On tours that end in Kovalam or Kanyakumari, fly home from Trivandrum and save the 7-hour drive back to Kochi.
Our team works from Gurgaon, so you can sit down with us in person or plan the whole trip over WhatsApp and a call.
How Many Days Do You Need for a Kerala Trip?
Five to seven days is right for a first Kerala trip. Hill roads are slow, so every extra day means less time in the car and more time at each place. Day-by-day plans for each length are in our Kerala itinerary guide.
- 4 days: Munnar plus one night on the backwaters. See the Kerala 4 days itinerary.
- 5 days: adds Periyar wildlife in Thekkady. See the Kerala 5 days itinerary.
- 6 days: a third night in Munnar or a day at Athirapilly falls. See the Kerala 6 days itinerary.
- 7 days: two nights in Thekkady, a resort and a houseboat, with short drives every day. See the Kerala 7 days itinerary.
- 8–9 days: room for Vagamon, Kovalam beach or Kanyakumari. See the Kerala 8 days itinerary.
Kerala Honeymoon and Family Packages
For couples: a private Premium or Luxury houseboat, a hill resort with a view in Munnar, a candlelight dinner and a slower pace. Most honeymooners choose 5 to 7 days, often ending at a beach resort in Kovalam. See our Kerala honeymoon packages.
For families: routes with no drive longer than about 4 hours, resorts with pools, and things children remember: the Periyar boat ride, spotting Nilgiri tahr at Eravikulam, waterfalls and a night on the water. See our Kerala family tour packages.
For senior travellers: fewer hotel changes, ground-floor or lift-access rooms on request, and the same driver for the whole trip.
Prefer one region? Explore our Munnar tour packages for the hills, or Alleppey houseboat packages for the backwaters.
About Kerala
Kerala is a narrow strip of land between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, and that geography packs a lot into a small space: misty tea hills, wildlife forests, a maze of backwaters and long palm-fringed beaches, all within a few hours' drive of each other. Add Ayurveda, old temples and churches, and some of India's best food, and it's easy to see why Kerala is called God's Own Country. It suits families, honeymooners, senior travellers and anyone who wants a holiday at an unhurried pace.
Why Visit Kerala
- Variety without long journeys. Hills, wildlife, backwaters and beaches sit close together, so even a 5-day trip covers three very different landscapes.
- A houseboat night. Sleeping on a private kettuvallam as it drifts past paddy fields and village life is an experience you can't get anywhere else in India.
- Cool hills, any time of year. Munnar sits at around 1,600 metres, pleasant even when the plains are hot.
- Slow, safe and family-friendly. Kerala is clean, well organised for tourists and easy for children and older travellers.
- Food and wellness. Kerala sadya, fresh seafood, appam and stew, plus authentic Ayurveda massages and longer treatment programmes.
Top Attractions in Kerala
- Munnar: rolling tea estates, Eravikulam National Park (home of the Nilgiri tahr), Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point and the Tea Museum.
- Thekkady: boat rides on Periyar Lake inside the Periyar Tiger Reserve, spice plantations, and Kathakali and Kalaripayattu shows. See Thekkady tourist places.
- Alleppey (Alappuzha): houseboat cruises on the backwaters and Vembanad Lake, Alleppey Beach and canal villages.
- Kumarakom: lakeside resorts and a bird sanctuary on the eastern shore of Vembanad Lake.
- Fort Kochi: Chinese fishing nets, St Francis Church, Mattancherry Palace, Jew Town and the Paradesi Synagogue. See Fort Kochi tourist places.
- Athirapilly: Kerala's largest waterfall, about two hours from Kochi.
- Vagamon: pine forests, meadows and quiet hilltops, a calmer alternative to Munnar.
- Kovalam and Varkala: lighthouse beach resorts at Kovalam and the clifftop cafes of Varkala.
- Guruvayur: the Sri Krishna Temple, one of Kerala's most important pilgrimage sites.
- Wayanad: forests, Edakkal Caves and plantation stays in the north.
For the full list, see our guide to Kerala tourist places.
Shopping in Kerala
Bring home cardamom, pepper and cloves from Thekkady's spice gardens, tea from Munnar's estates, banana chips and Kerala halwa, and coir, wood and brass handicrafts. Kasavu sarees and mundus, cream with a gold border, make a classic gift. Buy spices and Ayurveda oils from established shops or government outlets rather than roadside stalls, where quality varies.
Evenings and Nightlife
Kerala is not a party destination. Evenings are for a Kathakali or Kalaripayattu show in Thekkady or Kochi, a seafood dinner by the water, or a walk along Marine Drive. Fort Kochi, Varkala and Kovalam have the liveliest cafes and beach restaurants. Alcohol is served only in licensed hotels, bars and some resorts.
Travel Tips
- Pack light cotton clothes, a light jacket or sweater for Munnar evenings, comfortable walking shoes and an umbrella from June to September.
- Cover shoulders and knees at temples and churches; some temples, including Guruvayur, have a strict dress code.
- Hill roads to Munnar and Thekkady are winding. Carry motion-sickness tablets if anyone in your group needs them.
- Book houseboats, Periyar boat tickets and December–January hotels well in advance.
- North Indian and Jain food is easy to find in all main towns; tell us about dietary needs and we'll inform the hotels and houseboat crew.
Visa and ID
Indian citizens don't need any permit for Kerala; carry a government photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, driving licence or voter ID) for hotel check-ins. Foreign nationals need a valid Indian visa or e-Visa and their passport.
Important Notes
- Drive times are approximate; hill roads, traffic and weather can add an hour or more.
- Eravikulam National Park closes for a few weeks each year, usually in February and March, for the Nilgiri tahr calving season.
- Houseboat cruising stops by evening under local rules and may be limited in heavy rain; air-conditioning on Deluxe boats usually runs at night only.
- Wildlife sightings in Periyar can't be guaranteed.
- Hotel check-in is normally 2 pm and check-out 11 am or 12 noon.
Best Time to Visit Kerala
September to March is the best time to visit Kerala: the rains have left everything green, the air is drier and Munnar is cool. Kerala is a year-round destination, though, and each season has its own appeal.
| Season | Months | Weather | Good for |
| Peak | December – January | Dry and pleasant; cool nights in Munnar | Christmas and New Year trips; book early, highest prices |
| Winter | October – November, February – March | Warm days, little rain | The best balance of weather and price |
| Summer | April – May | Hot and humid on the coast; mild in the hills | Munnar, Vagamon and Thekkady; lower prices |
| Monsoon | June – September | Heavy rain, lush green; waterfalls at their fullest | Ayurveda, Athirapilly, budget trips; some houseboat days cut short |
For a month-by-month guide, see best time to visit Kerala.

FAQs
Yes. Most of our Kerala guests fly from Delhi to Kochi, about three and a half hours non-stop. We can include flights in your package, or start the tour at Kochi airport if you book them yourself.
September to March, when it's green, dry and pleasant. December and January are peak months, so book early. The monsoon (June–September) is quieter and cheaper, and the best time for Ayurveda.
Five to seven days. Five days covers Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey; seven lets you add a houseboat night and slow down. With 8–9 days you can add Kovalam, Vagamon or Kanyakumari.
The classic first-trip route is Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey: city heritage, tea hills, wildlife and backwaters. Add Kumarakom or Kovalam for more relaxation, Athirapilly for waterfalls, or Guruvayur for a temple visit.
Kochi (COK) for almost every itinerary, as it's central and close to Munnar and Alleppey. Use Trivandrum (TRV) for Kovalam, Varkala and Kanyakumari, and Kozhikode/Calicut (CCJ) for Wayanad. Many of our longer tours fly in to Kochi and out of Trivandrum.
Very. A private houseboat night, a hill resort in Munnar and a few days on a quiet beach make one of India's best honeymoons. Most couples choose 5 to 7 days.
Yes. It's safe and clean, the food suits children, and there's plenty to do: boat rides, wildlife, waterfalls, beaches and a night on a houseboat. We keep drives short and pick hotels with pools where we can.
For most travellers, yes. You get a private boat with a crew and cook, cruise the backwaters from about noon until evening, and sleep moored on the water. If you'd rather not stay overnight, a few hours on a shikara boat or a day cruise is a good alternative.
Deluxe boats are clean and comfortable, with air-conditioned bedrooms at night. Premium boats have better interiors and often an upper deck. Luxury boats suit honeymooners and anyone wanting more space and day-time air-conditioning. All are private, with lunch, dinner and breakfast cooked on board.
It can be. Hills and waterfalls are at their most beautiful, hotels are cheaper and it's the traditional season for Ayurveda. Expect heavy showers, occasional road delays and some limits on houseboat cruising.
Yes. Vegetarian food is everywhere, and North Indian dishes are easy to find in Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey. Tell us about Jain or other needs and we'll inform your hotels and houseboat crew in advance.
Yes. Every itinerary on this page is a starting point. We can change the hotels, add or drop places, add nights, upgrade the houseboat, or plan a completely new route around your dates.
