Designed for you
Tell us how you want Kerala to feel. We'll design it.
We don't have a ready-made Kerala package on the site yet, and we won't invent one to fill the page. Tell us the month, who's travelling and what the trip is for — a specialist builds the itinerary by hand and comes back with a real price, not a “from” number with conditions attached.
Why people go
- A short domestic flight away
- Backwaters, hills and beach in one loop
- The strongest Ayurveda tradition in India
What we'll ask you first
- Whether you want the houseboat as one night or the whole trip
- Monsoon is the authentic Ayurveda season — is that what you are after?
- How much driving between Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey you will accept
