About This Grand Kerala Trip
Kerala packs several distinct landscapes into a short drive: the backwater network around Alleppey, the tea country of Munnar at around 1,600 m, the spice hills and wildlife of Thekkady, and a long Arabian Sea coastline. The state is also unusually easy to travel in, with good roads and high literacy making communication simple.
The itinerary strings those together rather than staying put, which is the right way to see Kerala. The houseboat night on the backwaters is usually what people remember.
Who This Tour Suits
- Honeymooners — the backwaters and hill stations are built for it
- Families and older travellers, thanks to easy roads and gentle sightseeing
- Anyone wanting nature and Ayurveda rather than monuments

- Munnar is genuinely cool in the evenings — a light jacket is needed even when the coast is hot.

- Alcohol availability is more restricted than in most Indian states.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Kerala houseboat stay actually like?
A converted rice barge with private bedrooms, a bathroom, a deck and a crew who cook on board. Boats cruise through the afternoon and moor for the night — overnight movement is not permitted. Meals are typically local fish and vegetarian Kerala dishes.
When is the best time to visit Kerala?
September to March is the comfortable window, with December and January the driest and busiest. April and May are hot and humid on the coast, though Munnar stays pleasant. The June to September monsoon is dramatic and green, and the traditional season for Ayurvedic treatment.
Is Kerala a good destination for a honeymoon?
It is one of the most popular in India, and the mix is the reason: a private houseboat, tea-covered hills in Munnar and quiet beaches, all within a few hours of each other. Tell us at booking and the room arrangements can be planned accordingly.
