Kerala Tour Packages – Where Backwaters Meet Mountains
Kerala has a lot to offer and it is not just a place to visit but an experience which makes your senses alive. Every place from calm backwaters to foggy mountains, lively spice markets to serene temples, all have their own tales. Our Kerala holiday packages help you not only to see but also to feel the place.
In case you are planning a Kerala trip package, Kerala holiday packages, or want to travel with South Kerala tour packages, we will take you not only to the regular places but also to the hidden ones, give you the local experiences and show you the scenic spots that most travelers miss. Allow us to lead you from Kochi to Munnar, through the green tea plantations, and colourful cities, all in one trip.
Kerala Travel and Tourism at a Glance: Culture, Climate & Festivals
Culture: Kerala is a very diverse region of India with lots of different cultures existing side by side. For example, Kathakali performances, Theyyam rituals, and boat races are just the few of many points that tell a lot about its living heritage. You can enjoy the village festivals, treat yourself to homemade toddy, and chat with those who have been making handicrafts for ages.
Weather: The period starting from October through March is the best time for treks in the hills and backwater cruises. The summer months (April–June) are hot but suitable for walking in the hills in the early morning. The rain during the monsoon season (July–September) makes the natural scenery extremely beautiful with its lush green color, a good time for Ayurvedic spa treatments and rain-soaked fun.
Festivals: You Can Join: Be sure to attend the Onam festival, which is Kerala’s biggest and most important harvest festival; the Thrissur Pooram festival, which is an extravagant temple festival; and the Alappuzha Snake Boat Races. The unforgettable experience of participating in these festivals is included in your Kerala vacation packages and will surely make your trip memorable.
Things You Can’t Miss: A trip by a houseboat through the backwaters of Alleppey, a hike through the tea gardens of Munnar, visit spice plantations in Thekkady and the peaceful villages, where coco fiber and pottery are still in use.

Top Cities & Destinations Covered in Kerala Tours
Kochi – Gateway to Kerala Adventures
If you need a Kerala India tour package, Kochi is where we will begin. Apart from the famous Fort Kochi and the Chinese fishing nets, we show the spice bazaars of Mattancherry and the back lanes of Jew Town with antique shops that have tales of centuries-old trade. Explore art cafés away from the tourist crowd in the middle of colonial houses, and meet local artisans working on Kerala souvenirs in our Cochin Munnar tour packages. Gentle walks on the banks of the backwaters, or a small ferry trip, give you sights of Kochi rarely seen by tourists: quiet hamlets, tiny temples, and locals fishing in their own traditional ways. With our Kerala package tour, you will feel the pulse of the city at your own pace.
Munnar – Hills of Tea, Mist, and Magic
Your Kerala tour packages bring you from Kochi to the rolling hills and endless stretches of tea estates. While the recognised tourist attractions include Eravikulam National Park, and the Tea Museum, we take you off the beaten track to places such as the Chinnakanal Waterfalls, Attukal Shola Forest, and hidden hilltop viewpoints where fog drifts over the valleys during sunrise. Our Munnar tour packages include village walks through spice gardens and social evenings with local tea pluckers. You can even choose from several trekking trails rarely explored. Imagine your footsteps along the rows of tea with bird songs and misty mornings ringing in your ears. This is what Kerala is all about, and our Kerala tour package makes sure you get a full dose of it.
Alleppey (Alappuzha) – Backwater Serenity
Sitting with backwaters in its backdrop, Alleppey is a must for any itinerary of Kerala holiday packages. Our package for Kerala offers a stay in a private houseboat cruising past paddy fields with coconut groves and sleepy villages. Away from the beaten track, we take you to Marari Beach and fishing villages where life is slow and traditions follow their own courses. Paddling through narrow canals, visiting coir-making workshops, and enjoying real Kerala food, all fall in our Kerala vacation packages.
Thekkady – Spice Trails, Wild Encounters, and Hidden Hills
Thekkady is more than just about Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary- it fills the dream of every adventurer and culture lover. Our Kerala tour packages have bamboo rafting along Periyar Lake on offer. Meanwhile, you are guided along secret spice trails within tiny family-run gardens, such that you may touch, smell, and even taste cardamom, cinnamon, and clove, straight off the farm. We explore beyond the main sanctuary and Anakkara Village, a sleepy hamlet that offers opportunities to learn traditional martial arts, visit toddy farms, or indulge in pottery workshops alongside the villagers themselves. Early morning safaris reveal elephants and deer, sometimes elusive leopards, giant squirrels, and exotic birds, the very ones that most tours miss. For a cultural blend, evenings can be enjoyed with a Kathakali show in the countryside, or join a cooking class to learn the art of preparing Kerala's specialty dishes, from hot curries to aromatic rice.
Kumarakom – Village Life, Birdwatching, and Backwater Bliss
Situated on the banks of the renowned Vembanad Lake, Kumarakom is one of the finest places you ever wish to visit. But due to its location, most Kerala holiday packages do not take the visitors to this peaceful place. Glide through narrow canals in a traditional canoe, visit quiet fishing villages, and meet local artisans weaving mats, coir products, and intricate bamboo crafts. A beautiful start with rare migratory birds, few species of kingfishers, and the gorgeous herons for the avid bird watcher is a treat you will enjoy at the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary. Then, you will visit Pathiramanal, an island in the backwaters, where the lake has its flora and fauna grown undisturbed and left open. It is accessible only by specialized boat to the island. Go-share-the-lives kind of stay in small riverside villages give you a day of engaging in Kerala curry from actual kitchens, swapping conversation with locals, and getting immersed into the rhythm of life that, in reality, characterizes this part of the world. Our Kerala tour package converts the usual sightseeing experience into something involving the heart that most Kerala tour packages would skip.
Kovalam – Sun, Sand, Ayurveda, and Hidden Shores
There are usually many beautiful beaches in Kerala, and Kovalam is one of them, where you would love to relax in the company of the warm rays of the sun. However, our Kerala tour packages take you on paths few tourists would dare to explore. Lighthouse Beach is just one of the beaches we plan for our guests; and then we also take you to Hawa Beach and Ashram Beach. You may try out the surfing lessons, sea escapades or relax on a boat ride in the vicinity. Foodies can be made to sweat in seafood-cooking workshops. Enjoy a drive to the Vellayani Lake, it's got a peaceful freshwater viewpoint with coconut palms all around, splendid for kayaking as well as birdwatching. The cliffs could be your sunset walks, and panoramas at the Arabian Sea make the experience memorable, as the local-village tours bring an idea of ancient Kerala fishing life and coir-making.
