Glide through palm-fringed backwaters, wake up in a houseboat and sip fresh tea in the Munnar hills — Kerala is India's most soothing escape.
'God's Own Country' lives up to its name. Kerala pairs serene backwaters with misty tea hills, Ayurvedic wellness and a coastline dotted with cliffs and beaches. It is ideal for honeymooners, families and anyone craving slow travel.
Best time to visit Kerala
September to March offers the most comfortable weather. The monsoon (June–August) turns the hills emerald and is the traditional season for Ayurveda treatments — just expect rain.
What not to miss
- An overnight houseboat stay on the Alleppey/Kumarakom backwaters.
- Tea plantation walks and the Eravikulam National Park in Munnar.
- Varkala's cliff-top cafes and Papanasam beach.
- A Kathakali performance and an authentic Kerala sadya meal on a banana leaf.
Houseboat costs & tips
A private 1-bedroom houseboat with full-board meals usually starts around ₹8,000–₹12,000 per night. Deluxe and premium boats cost more. Book air-conditioned boats in summer, and confirm the cruising route in advance.
Family tip
Kerala is very family-friendly with excellent vegetarian food. Keep mosquito repellent handy for backwater stays and pack light cottons even in winter.
