Kerala Travel GuideKerala Travel GuideMost Kerala trips move between hill country (Munnar, Thekkady), the backwaters (Alappuzha), and the coast (Kochi, Kovalam) — each offering a different pace and landscape.
5–8 days covers the highlights comfortably, including one houseboat night on the backwaters.
October to March for classic dry-season travel. June to September is Kerala's monsoon — lush and dramatic, but wet.
A private-cabin houseboat cruise through the Alappuzha backwaters is Kerala's signature experience; one overnight is standard, two if you want to slow down further.
