Full Tour Itinerary of Kerala Holidays Package

Tour Routing Tour Routing: Kochi – Munnar – Thekkady – Alleppey – Kovalam -Trivandrum

DAYS 1-2: KOCHI — Queen of the Arabian Sea

Kochi built its fortune on spice — for centuries, its natural harbor, one of the finest on the Arabian Sea, drew Arab, Chinese, Dutch, and Portuguese traders in search of pepper and cardamom. That layered history is still visible today: wander Fort Kochi's colonial streets, watch the iconic Chinese fishing nets at work along the shore, and take in the sea air along Marine Drive, the city's palm-lined promenade. Just beyond the city, Kochi's backwaters open into a network of brackish lagoons and canals — your first look at the waterways that define Kerala. Accommodation: 5-star hotel, 2 nights

DAYS 3-4: MUNNAR — Tea Hills and Three Rivers

Munnar sits roughly 1,600 meters above sea level in the Western Ghats, and its name comes from the Malayalam for "three rivers" — the Mudirapuzha, Nallathanni, and Kundaly, which converge near the town. Rolling tea estates carpet the hills in every direction, planted by British planters in the 19th century and still worked today. Wildlife lovers should set aside time for the Kurinjimala Sanctuary, home to the rare neelakurinji flower that blooms just once every 12 years, painting entire hillsides blue-purple. Accommodation: 5-star hill resort, 2 nights

DAYS 5-6: THEKKADY — Periyar National Park's Wild Interior

Thekkady, about 145 km from Kochi International Airport, is home to Periyar National Park — 777 sq km of dense forest built around the Mullaperiyar Dam and the Periyar River. Elephants, gaur (Indian bison), sambar deer, and lion-tailed macaques are regularly sighted on a boat safari across the reservoir or a guided forest walk; Periyar is officially a tiger reserve, though sightings of the reserve's tigers themselves are rare given the dense forest cover — most visitors come away having seen the park's more visible wildlife instead. Accommodation: 5-star resort, 2 nights

DAY 7: ALLEPPEY — A Night on the Backwaters

Lord Curzon once called Alleppey "the Venice of the East" for its dazzling network of lagoons, canals, and backwaters, and the best way to experience it is from the water itself. Board a private houseboat — a traditional kettuvallam, once used to transport rice and spices — for an overnight cruise through palm-fringed canals and paddy fields that sit below sea level. Alleppey is also one of the oldest planned towns on the Kerala coast, with a 19th-century lighthouse still marking its harbor along the Laccadive Sea. Accommodation: Private houseboat, 1 night

DAYS 8-10: KOVALAM — Three Beaches on the Arabian Sea

Kovalam, about 16 km from Trivandrum, is built around a crescent coastline of three distinct beaches separated by rocky headlands: Lighthouse Beach, the liveliest and most visited; Hawah Beach, quieter and framed by cliffs; and Samudra Beach, still used by local fishing communities. Spend these three days at your own pace — swimming, an Ayurvedic massage session (Kerala is the birthplace of Ayurvedic treatment), or simply watching the sun set over the Arabian Sea from the beachfront. Accommodation: 5-star beach resort, 3 nights

DAY 11: TRIVANDRUM — Departure Through Kerala's Capital

Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram) is Kerala's capital and administrative center, built across low coastal hills and home to some of the state's oldest cultural institutions, including the Napier Museum and Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple. Depending on your flight time, take a final morning to explore before your private transfer to the airport closes out 11 days across Kerala's coast, hills, and backwaters.

The tour fulfilled our expectations, smooth arrival, easy connected drives, lazy backwater holidays makes this trip for us a delighted experience. I really enjoyed the section of hotels as all of them were well equipped with the required necessities, great services and humble driver. Kerala is really a GOD’s OWN COUNTRY.
Melissa Lim (22 February, 2026)★★★★★
We booked this tour with online search and were very excited to explore two beautiful countries of Asia. One of the best experience was the flight over Himalayas in Nepal and was also interactive with local people in India, riding an elephant. We really look forward to visit India again soon.

FAQs — Luxury Kerala Holidays Package

What does this Kerala package cover?

This is an 11-day, 10-night journey across Kerala's most iconic landscapes: the historic port city of Kochi, the tea hills of Munnar, the wildlife of Periyar National Park in Thekkady, an overnight houseboat cruise through the Alleppey backwaters, and three days relaxing on Kovalam's beaches, before departing from Trivandrum.

How much does the package cost?

This package starts from USD $1,965 per person, based on double occupancy. Pricing varies by season, hotel category, and group size — contact us for a quote tailored to your travel dates.

Will I see tigers at Periyar National Park?

Periyar is an official tiger reserve, but its dense forest cover makes tiger sightings genuinely rare, even for regular visitors. What you're far more likely to see on a boat safari or forest walk are elephants, gaur (Indian bison), sambar deer, and lion-tailed macaques — Periyar's wildlife is still one of the highlights of South India, just not guaranteed to include a tiger.

What is the houseboat experience like?

In Alleppey, you'll spend one night aboard a private kettuvallam — a traditional houseboat once used to transport rice and spices, now converted for overnight stays. Boats cruise slowly through palm-lined canals and paddy fields, with meals cooked fresh on board. It's typically the most memorable single night of the trip.

What's the best time of year to visit Kerala?

October through March offers the most pleasant weather across Kochi, Munnar, and the coast, with cooler temperatures and low humidity. April to May is hot and best suited to hill-station time in Munnar. June to September is monsoon season — Kerala turns lush green and is a popular season for Ayurvedic treatments, though houseboat cruises may be affected by rain.

Is this trip good for a honeymoon or relaxed leisure travel?

Yes — the pacing is deliberately unhurried, with beach time in Kovalam, a private houseboat night, and hill-station calm in Munnar built in alongside the more active wildlife and sightseeing days.

Can I book an Ayurvedic treatment during the trip?

Yes. Kerala is considered the birthplace of Ayurveda, and most hotels on this itinerary — particularly in Kovalam and Munnar — offer on-site Ayurvedic spa treatments and massage therapies that can be booked directly or arranged in advance through us.

What's included in the price?

Accommodation for 10 nights (including one houseboat night), daily breakfast, private air-conditioned transport with driver, English-speaking guides, and entry fees for the sights listed in the itinerary. Lunches and dinners (except where noted on the houseboat), visa fees, international flights, and personal expenses are not included.

Do I need a visa to visit Kerala?

Most nationalities can apply for an e-visa or visa-on-arrival for tourism. Requirements vary by country, so confirm current rules with your nearest Indian embassy or consulate before booking flights.

Is this itinerary suitable for families or senior travelers?

Yes — the pace is relatively relaxed compared to a heritage-heavy tour, with private transport throughout. Let us know about any specific mobility needs or preferences (e.g., a slower pace in Periyar, or a shorter houseboat cruise) when booking, and we'll adjust accordingly.

Can this itinerary be customized?

Yes. Extend your beach time in Kovalam, add a wildlife safari extension, or combine this with a Golden Triangle or Goa itinerary for a longer South India journey.

What should I pack for this trip?

Light, breathable clothing for the coast and backwaters, a light jacket for cooler Munnar evenings, comfortable walking shoes for Periyar's forest trails, and swimwear for Kovalam. Insect repellent is recommended for the backwaters and Thekkady.
