How many days are enough for a Kerala trip?

Most travellers do 6 days: Munnar (2N) · Thekkady (1N) · Alleppey Houseboat (1N) · Kochi (1N). We can shorten or extend this — some guests add a beach or city stopover at the end.

No. We only plan private, customised trips — your family or friends travel on your own itinerary, with your own vehicle and guide.
