Kerala Tour Packages: Complete 2026–27 Holiday Planning Guide

Kerala offers a combination of mist-covered hill stations, wildlife destinations, backwaters, beaches, pilgrimage centres and cultural experiences. That variety means a good Kerala holiday is less about adding as many destinations as possible and more about building a sensible route around your available days.

At Anamika Kerala Holidays, travellers can explore customised Kerala and South India holidays based on their starting point, travel dates, interests, group size and preferred trip duration.

Where Should You Go in Kerala?

For first-time visitors, some of the most useful destinations to consider are:

Munnar – tea plantations, mountain scenery and cool weather
Thekkady – spice country, nature and Periyar region experiences
Alleppey – backwaters and houseboat experiences
Vagamon – green hills and quieter mountain scenery
Kochi – convenient arrival point and heritage attractions
Varkala & Kovalam – coastal holidays and beaches
Kanthalloor – mountain landscapes, farms and routes that combine well with Munnar

Munnar is particularly important in Kerala itineraries. India’s official Incredible India tourism portal describes it as a hill destination characterised by tea plantations, misty valleys and mountain scenery. Incredible India

How Many Days Do You Need?

Your ideal duration depends on your arrival point and destinations.

A short trip can focus on one or two areas, while a week allows a much more relaxed combination of hills, wildlife and backwaters.

What Does a Kerala Trip Cost?

Hotel category, vehicle choice, travel season, number of travellers, sightseeing and trip duration all affect the final cost.

Our guide to Kerala trip cost and what determines your holiday budget explains the major factors.

When Should You Visit?

Different seasons provide different Kerala experiences. Instead of assuming there is one universally perfect month, choose according to the destinations and activities you want.
