Kerala Tour Packages

About this tour

Overview Of Kerala

There are a lot of Tripaone Kerala tour packages, but it takes some thought to choose the one that really fits your interests, whether they are in nature, history, art, culture, food, or leisure. We help you find the best Kerala vacation packages for your money.

Kerala’s nickname, “God’s own country,” is not a joke. It has a beautiful 600-kilometer stretch of unspoiled coastline along the Arabian Sea; palm-fringed beaches; a network of slow-moving backwaters with a lively rural life; the misty tea-covered Western Ghats; wildlife reserves full of plants and animals that are only found there; and spice plantations that grow wild in its valleys and on its hillsides. Kerala is one of the cleanest states in the country, and it may also be one of the friendliest. It is a joy to travel around, visiting the ancient temples and museums in Trivandrum, learning about the maritime history in Cochin (Kochi), or taking a boat to islands like Mattancherry to learn about its Jewish roots. Add to that a culture that is characterized by colorful folk art and dance, a cuisine that uses spices in a subtle but generous way, and a love of Ayurveda that will calm your nerves. Just slow down and take in all the sights and smells around you.

Alleppey, also called Alappuzha, is Kerala’s escape to the backwaters. It is a complex network of waterways with a thousand houseboats anchored or moving through a maze of canals. The Alleppey backwaters are a major center for the coir industry in the state. They stretch to the south, north, and east and bring you face-to-face with beautiful rural scenery that you’ll remember for a long time. You could choose the slow-moving rice barges or houseboats and let them take you down the Kollam route. Backwater life is both beautiful and heartbreaking. It takes place along green waterways with a lot of coconut trees around the edges. From your deck, you can see little kids going to school in punted canoes or wooden boats; toddy shops getting ready for the day; village women bending over their paddy crop; and old people sitting together and reminiscing; until a flock of a thousand ducks decides to cross the river and stops everything. When the villages end and you can see a big blue sea in the distance with Chinese fishing nets as the only real thing between you and the sea, you realize how fragile life is in the backwaters. Yatra.com is the best place to book an all-inclusive tour of Alleppey.

Wayanad: If you go to Kerala, you have to go to Wayanad, the wild area in the north that borders Karnakata and Tamil Nadu. Wayanad is a very important elephant corridor. The Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, which is part of the Western Ghats, surrounds it and makes a beautiful mountain scene. As you go deeper into the jungle, you’ll find bright green paddy fields, betel nut groves, bamboo jungles, ginger shrub fields, and coffee, cardamom, rubber, and eucalyptus plantations. Wayanad is more isolated than the rest of Kerala. It has some cute places to stay on coffee and spice plantations, and the British-built roads that wind up the hillside make it a great place to get away from the busy backwaters and beaches. Wayanad is split by the Kabini River and has one of the largest dams in the country, the Banasura Sagar Dam. Since the colonial era, the fertile land in Wayanad has been a goldmine for a wide range of cash crops.

Fort Kochi is one of the most important places to see in Kerala. Travelers, traders, and explorers have been coming to this port city in South India for more than 600 years. This has led to a mixing of cultures, which can be seen in its Chinese fishing nets, old mosques, a 450-year-old Jewish synagogue, traditional homes from the Portuguese and Dutch eras, and British artifacts that are quickly disappearing. This multi-cultural city on the Malabar coast has a unique mix of medieval villages from Holland, Portugal, and England. If you look around, you’ll find some cute and artsy boutiques, curio shops, cafes, and a lot of cozy heritage hotels and homestays. This city still uses its ancient art forms, and it is still the best place in all of Kerala to see a Kathakali or Kalaripayattu show. There are many things to do in Kerala, but a trip to historical sites like Fort Kochi and Mattancherry Island is a must. These places show the city’s colorful colonial history.

Varkala: Recently, Varkala has become very popular with Russian tourists. They stay at a bed and breakfast or one of the Ayurvedic resorts on its 15-meter-high laterite cliffs, which are covered with coconut groves and border the rough Arabian Sea. Varkala is about 50 km northwest of Trivandrum. Its unique location makes it a great place for backpackers and people who want to get away from it all. In this area, it’s common to take yoga classes regularly, get a lot of Ayurvedic treatments, and eat a healthy diet that includes Sattvik elements. Varakala has a seaside charm that you won’t find anywhere else in Kerala. It’s only comparable to the beaches at the north and south ends of Goa. If you choose to stay somewhere on the North Cliff, you can watch the crashing waves of the sea below. As you make your way through its muddy, winding path, you will pass cute curio shops with silver jewelry, trendy beach and casual wear, and a lot of cafes and seafood bistros. Don’t be surprised if you see books in Russian in a cafe. A typical day in Varkala might include lounging in your hotel room and listening to the sea from your window; going to a yoga class; reading in a library; going for a walk; stopping by a cafe in the evening to reserve your fresh seafood catch; coming back later to find it turned into a beautiful grilled fish main course, ready to be eaten.

With a typical wooden alfresco set-up, you can see a beautiful sunset from eye level. The tailors in this small seaside town are quick and skilled. They can turn a piece of fabric you give them into pants, a skirt, or a dress in just a few hours. Don’t leave without getting a traditional Shirodhara treatment at one of the many Ayurvedic clinics. In just a few days, you’ll start to see the same people at the cafe, and the shopkeepers will start to call you by your name.

Munnar: In Munnar, you can feel like you’re above the clouds as you look out over a misty valley covered in well-kept tea gardens that rise and fall into the distance. The landscape of the lower Western Ghats is made up of rolling, emerald-green tea plantations with sharply cut edges. As you drive around Munnar, you’ll see that the scenery is not only beautiful, but it can also be scary. In the blink of an eye, a cloud can cover up a tea garden that was bright green just a moment ago. Even though there are sometimes traffic jams, it is easy to get off the road and enjoy a sea of green and peace and quiet. Watching the tea plantation workers go about their business, visiting the waterfalls and the “echo point,” and stopping at a roadside tea stall for a hot cup of tea and a crispy fritter while chatting with the locals are just a few of the activities available in Munnar.The town is also known for its beautiful scenery and friendly people. Walk around to learn about the local culture and find green spaces you haven’t seen yet. But before you leave Munnar, make sure you see the mountain goat, Nilgiri Tahr, at the Rajmala Wildlife Sanctuary, which is about 15 kilometers from the town’s administrative center.

This is where you’ll start your journey into the Nilgiri wilderness, which is full of tigers, elephants, deer, and panthers.

The Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary: The Periyar Tiger Reserve is one of South India’s best wildlife sanctuaries. It covers 777 square kilometers and has a 26-square-kilometer man-made lake that was built by the British. It is a popular destination for both Indian and foreign tourists. The Periyar jungle is home to about 2,000 elephants, as well as bison, sambars, langurs, the elusive tiger, and a large number of birds, such as cormorants, hornbills, the Nilgiri wood pigeon, darters, and laughing thrushes. You can explore the depths of the jungle by trekking along the hillside or taking a boat ride through the beautiful scenery. The latter is a great way to see the landscape and its lush expanse, but you can only get a closer look at its plants and animals if you walk into the wilderness with a local villager as your guide. After your jungle walk, you can get a hearty Kerala-style thali for lunch in the nearby town of Kumily, which is about 4 kilometers south of Thekkady. To finish, you can go to the local market and buy real spices like cardamom, saffron, cinnamon, star anise, clove, black pepper, and a variety of teas. Kumily has a dock for boats, a hotel run by KTDC, and a number of other hotels and restaurants. The months between December and April are best if you want to see more wildlife.

Best Time to visit Kerala

Even though Kerala has three distinct seasons—summer, monsoon, and winter—people visit all year long.

High season: The best time to visit Kerala with a Tripaone tour is from September to March, after the monsoon, when the humidity and heat are gone and the temperature stays between 23 and 32 degrees Celsius. The winter season lasts from November to January. The skies are clear, the sun is bright, and there is a slight chill in the air around sunset. This is the best time to go on a houseboat trip or to places like Alleppey and Kumarakom that are near water. It is also a time to visit the misty tea plantations of Munnar or take a jetty ride to Cochin’s Mattancherry Palace.

Off season: The low season in Kerala is between April and May. During these peak summer months, the heat and humidity are very high, and there are fewer people everywhere. The beaches are empty, the monuments are empty, the shacks are closed, and the hotels are running out of people to stay in them. People like to go to Wayanad and Munnar in the hills during this time of year because the weather is cooler and the mountain breeze is refreshing. This is a good time to get hotel deals in the plains.

Ayurvedic season: The best time to get an Ayurvedic treatment in Kerala is during the monsoon months of June, July, and August, when it rains and the seas are rough. You can do this at one of the state’s Ayurveda resorts or clinics. The end of the dry spell, the strong winds, and the subsequent drop in temperature are all good reasons to get a deep Ayurvedic massage and eat according to the diet chart.
