Kerala Tours & Trips
Ever wondered why they call Kerala "God's Own Country"? You'll cruise backwaters on those traditional houseboats, tour tea plantations in Munnar's hills, watch Kathakali dancers doing their thing, spot elephants in Periyar, try bamboo rafting, explore Fort Kochi's Portuguese and Dutch bits, relax on Kovalam's beaches, and basically forget what stress feels like. Kerala does that to you.

Memorable India crafted a perfect Kerala itinerary for us, starting in the charming streets of Fort Kochi. Hari, our driver, was excellent — always early, always smiling, and full of tips on local food spots. The highlights included tea plantations in Munnar, a spice plantation walk in Periyar, and a magical overnight houseboat in Alleppey. The hotels were top-notch and full of character. If you want to see Kerala in comfort and style, this is the way to do it.

We had a great tour to Munnar, Thekkady, Aleppey and finally Kochi. The scenery was beautiful! Our driver Sanal made sure we were safe on the mountain roads of Kerala, and he made many good suggestions to complement our itinerary.

Best time to visit Kerala
- Spring 2026
Spring sees pleasant temperatures perfect for outdoor activities in Kerala. Our travelers particularly enjoy morning walks through Munnar's tea estates, often combining these with visits to spot Nilgiri Tahr at Eravikulam National Park. One of our most requested spring routes pairs bamboo rafting adventures in Periyar with local cultural shows in Thekkady. Many guests choose tours that include time at Mattupetty Dam and afternoon visits to working spice farms. The traditional houseboats remain a favorite - you'll see daily village life along the backwaters while eating fresh local food prepared in the boat's kitchen.

- Summer 2026
Summer tours work around Kerala's warmth with early starts and relaxed afternoons. Our groups explore Fort Kochi's heritage areas in the cooler morning hours, then visit the spice markets when their aromas are strongest. A popular summer route includes Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, where early boat rides give you the best chance to spot animals. Many visitors pick tours with stays in Munnar, where the higher elevation keeps things comfortable. The backwater trips work well year-round - our guests often mention how much they enjoy the cooling breezes while cruising Alleppey's waterways.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn shows Kerala at its greenest, and our tours make the most of the post-monsoon landscape. Walking through Thekkady's renewed spice gardens and seeing tea plantations in rich autumn colors are particular favorites among our guests. One well-planned route includes Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary visits when migratory birds start arriving in November. Another popular autumn option mixes cultural sites in Kochi with beach time in Kovalam. The backwater cruises really shine this season - our travelers often tell us how much they enjoy watching the sun set over calm waters while eating fresh Kerala dishes.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter in Kerala offers ideal exploration conditions with clear visibility and comfortable temperatures. Our winter tours typically run between 5-14 days, mixing cultural visits with nature experiences. The morning light at Munnar's tea fields is particularly good for photos, and our travelers often mention this as a highlight. A really popular route starts in Kochi with an evening of traditional Kathakali performances before heading to Thekkady's spice gardens - you'll get hands-on experience with cardamom, pepper, vanilla and other local spices. Wildlife watching at Periyar Lake is excellent this time of year; our groups regularly spot elephants, wild boar and lots of different birds. The houseboats in Alleppey make cozy overnight stops, and our guests love the peaceful atmosphere and authentic Kerala dishes served right on board.
