Kerala Tour Packages

Planning a trip to Kerala shouldn’t feel like a second job. Between choosing destinations, comparing hotels, and figuring out logistics, it’s easy to get overwhelmed before you’ve even packed a bag. That’s the gap Chalo Kerala fills. We build itineraries around comfort, fair pricing, and a genuine understanding of what makes a trip memorable — the misty hills of Munnar, the backwaters of Alleppey, the golden coastline of Kovalam, and the quieter corners most visitors never find.

Years of working on the ground in Kerala, paired with a network of hotels, drivers, and guides we trust, is what lets us put together trips that feel less like a checklist and more like a journey shaped around you. If you’re after a personalized schedule, honest pricing, and a team that actually knows the terrain, you’re in the right place.

Make your travel plans a reality — with Chalo Kerala, every itinerary is personal.

Why Choose Chalo Kerala

Kerala can be overwhelming to plan for — there are simply too many destinations, too many operators, and too many near-identical package listings to sort through. This is where we come in. We’re not in the business of listing generic itineraries; we design trips backed by real experience, transparency, and a track record with hundreds of travelers.

That experience shapes how we build every itinerary — not as a one-size-fits-all template, but as something tailored to what a traveler actually wants out of the trip.

What sets us apart:

• Local expertise — We know Kerala inside out, from well-known landmarks to spots most tourists never hear about.
• Customized itineraries — Each trip is shaped around your interests, budget, and available days.
• Transparent pricing — No hidden costs, no last-minute add-ons.
• A trusted network — Verified hotels, experienced drivers, and licensed guides.
• End-to-end support — Involved from the first planning call to the last day of the trip.
• Built for every kind of traveler — honeymooners, families, corporate groups, and solo travelers.

Munnar — Misty Hills and Scenic Wonders

Munnar tops the list for a reason. Tucked into the Western Ghats, this hill station offers cool weather, rolling tea plantations, and views that are hard to describe until you’ve seen them. If tranquility and scenery are what you’re after, Munnar is usually where a Kerala itinerary begins.

Spice plantations, Valara Falls and Cheeyappara Falls

The drive up to Munnar is part of the experience. Spice fields along the way let you see cardamom, pepper, and cinnamon growing in their natural setting, while Valara and Cheeyappara Falls tumble dramatically through the forest right beside the road.

Pothamedu View Point, Photo Point, Echo Point and Cinema Point

These four spots capture Munnar’s visual identity. Pothamedu View Point overlooks sweeping tea, coffee, and cardamom plantations and is especially striking at sunrise or sunset. Photo Point sits amid tea gardens, Echo Point lets you test the hills’ natural acoustics, and Cinema Point — a favorite backdrop for film shoots — offers dramatic scenery that looks staged but isn’t.

Kundala Lake, Mattupetty Dam and the Elephant Arrival Spot

Kundala Lake, with its calm waters and pedal boats, suits couples and families alike. Mattupetty Dam adds forest and wildlife views, and the nearby Elephant Arrival Spot gives visitors a chance to see elephants up close, either in the wild or in a supervised setting.

Tea Museum and Eravikulam National Park

No trip to Munnar is complete without understanding its tea heritage, and the Tea Museum covers that history well. Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr, rewards nature lovers with grasslands and mist-covered hills — and once every twelve years, a rare bloom of Neelakurinji flowers turns the park a striking shade of blue.

Thekkady — Wildlife, Adventure and Nature

If Munnar is about scenery, Thekkady is about wildlife. Its forests and biodiversity offer a change of pace from the hill-station calm of Munnar, and it’s a regular feature in itineraries built for nature lovers, couples, and families who want to get outdoors.

Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary and the Tiger Reserve lake

Periyar is one of India’s better-preserved wildlife reserves, home to elephants, deer, bison, and occasionally tigers. A boat ride on Periyar Lake, right inside the reserve, lets you watch wildlife approach the water’s edge from a safe distance — often the highlight of a Thekkady visit.

Spice plantation tours

Thekkady’s guided spice plantation tours walk you through cardamom, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg fields while local guides explain how each spice is grown, used, and exported. Most tours end with the chance to buy spices directly from the source.

Motor boat cruise on Periyar Lake

Early morning and late afternoon cruises tend to offer the best wildlife sightings — elephant herds, wild boar, and a wide variety of birds are all common along the shoreline.

Alleppey — Backwater Bliss

Alleppey, or Alappuzha, is where Kerala’s backwater reputation comes from. If Munnar is hills and Thekkady is wildlife, Alleppey is stillness — usually the destination couples and honeymooners look forward to most.

Shikara cruises through Vembanad Lake and Kuttanad’s canals

A Shikara ride through Vembanad Lake and the narrow canals of Kuttanad is as close as you’ll get to everyday Kerala life — village homes, fishermen at work, and greenery on every side.

The paddy fields of Kuttanad

Known as the “Rice Bowl of Kerala,” Kuttanad’s paddy fields sit below sea level and stretch out in a way that feels almost surreal, whether seen from a backwater cruise or a countryside drive.

Alleppey Beach

A different kind of scenery from the backwaters — golden sand, a historic pier stretching into the sea, and sunsets that turn the sky orange and pink.

Kovalam and Trivandrum — Beaches, Heritage and Culture

Kovalam and Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram) pair coastal beauty with cultural depth. Kovalam brings the crescent-shaped beaches; Trivandrum brings the history, architecture, and spirituality.

Jatayu Earth Center and Kovalam Lighthouse

Jatayu Earth Center is built around the world’s largest bird sculpture, representing the mythological eagle from the Ramayana, with cable car rides and hilltop views included. Kovalam Lighthouse, a short climb away, rewards visitors with sweeping views of the Arabian Sea.

The beaches — Hawah, Lighthouse and Samudra

Kovalam’s three main beaches each have a different personality. Hawah Beach is lively and local, Lighthouse Beach is the most popular with water sports and cafés, and Samudra Beach is the quieter option.

Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Napier Museum and the Zoological Park

Trivandrum adds the cultural layer. Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple is one of the richest and most architecturally significant temples in the country, Napier Museum covers Kerala’s history through art and artifacts, and the Zoological Park — one of India’s oldest — rounds things out.

Kanyakumari — Where the Oceans Meet

Kanyakumari sits at the southern tip of India, where the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean converge. It’s often added to longer south India itineraries for travelers who want to go beyond Kerala without breaking up the trip.

Suchindram Temple

A short drive from Kanyakumari, Suchindram Temple is known for its unusual depiction of the Hindu trinity in a single idol, along with detailed carvings and musical pillars that produce different notes when tapped.

Vivekananda Rock Memorial, Thiruvalluvar Statue and Gandhi Memorial

The Vivekananda Rock Memorial, reachable by a short ferry ride, marks the spot where Swami Vivekananda meditated. Nearby, the towering Thiruvalluvar Statue honors the Tamil poet-philosopher, and the Gandhi Memorial Museum marks the site where Gandhi’s ashes were held before immersion.

Sunset View Point and the Wax Museum

Kanyakumari’s sunsets — watched from the point where three oceans meet — are genuinely worth planning your evening around. The Wax Museum is a lighter, more casual stop for those who want a break from temples and monuments.

Rameswaram — Sacred Journeys and Coastal Scenery

Rameswaram, on Pamban Island in Tamil Nadu, is one of the more spiritually significant stops that can be layered onto an extended south India itinerary.

Pamban Bridge

India’s first sea bridge sets the tone for the journey — a striking stretch of engineering connecting the mainland to Rameswaram Island, with ocean views on both sides.

Ramanatha Swamy Temple and nearby sacred sites

Ramanatha Swamy Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines, anchors Rameswaram’s spiritual significance, with Ramar Patham, Kothandaramaswamy Temple, and the floating-stone Hanuman Temple nearby adding further mythological weight to the visit.

Agni Theertham and Dhanushkodi

Agni Theertham is a holy seashore where pilgrims take ritual baths before visiting the temple, while Dhanushkodi — a ghost town at the island’s edge, destroyed by a cyclone decades ago — offers a hauntingly beautiful stretch of sand and sea up to the check post.

Madurai — Temples and Cultural History

Madurai, one of India’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, adds real cultural weight to a longer south India route. Known as the Temple City, it’s built around tradition and architecture in a way that goes beyond scenery alone.

Meenakshi Temple and nearby shrines

Meenakshi Temple, dedicated to Goddess Meenakshi and Lord Sundareswarar, is the city’s centerpiece, with towering, sculpture-covered gopurams. Alazhar Temple, Palamudhircholai, and the rock-cut Tiruparankundram Temple round out Madurai’s spiritual sites.

Tirumalai Naickar Mahal and Gandhi Memorial Museum

Beyond the temples, Tirumalai Naickar Mahal — a 17th-century palace with Indo-Saracenic architecture — and the Gandhi Memorial Museum, one of the few in India dedicated to Gandhi’s life, give the trip a historical layer alongside the religious one.

October to March (peak season)

The best window for sightseeing, houseboat stays, and beach time — pleasant weather makes it ideal for honeymooners and families alike.

April to June (summer)

Temperatures rise in the lowlands, but hill stations like Munnar stay cool. A good stretch for budget travelers hunting for deals.

July to September (monsoon)

Kerala turns lush and green. This is the season for Ayurvedic treatments and a quieter, less crowded trip.
