Kerala trip from Bangalore

About Kerala

Kerala is really several trips in one: the backwaters around Alappuzha and Kumarakom, the hills at Munnar and Thekkady, the beaches at Kovalam and Varkala, and the north Malabar coast. Trying to see all of it in a short trip means a lot of travel time.

We usually suggest picking two regions per trip, for example hills plus backwaters, and linking them with comfortable transfers. Tell us your days and interests and we shape the route.

Things to do in Kerala

• Backwater stays and houseboat-style experiences
• Tea and spice country around Munnar and Thekkady
• Beaches such as Kovalam and Varkala
• Kochi and Fort Kochi heritage
• Ayurveda and wellness stays

Who Kerala suits

Honeymooners, families and groups with five or more days who want variety.

Getting to Kerala from Bengaluru

Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram have international airports, and Kozhikode has an airport too. Trains link Bengaluru to Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram. Road distances inside Kerala are long, so we group stays by region instead of crossing the state each day.

A sample plan for Kerala

A five-day idea: fly or drive to Kochi and spend a day in Fort Kochi. Move to Munnar or Thekkady for two nights in the hills. Finish with two nights on the backwaters near Alappuzha or Kumarakom.

Planning tips for Kerala

• Choose two regions, not five, so you spend more time at each stay.
• Check monsoon conditions before booking backwater cruises.
• Book houseboats and resorts early for the winter months.
