Customised Kerala Holiday Packages from Kolkata
Kerala Tour Packages from Kolkata- Hills, Houseboats, Rice and Fish Curry
Kerala has long been a favourite with Bengali travellers. It offers cool tea hills, wildlife, quiet backwaters and long beaches, all within a short flight of Kolkata. Most of our guests from Kolkata fly into Kochi. They spend two nights in Munnar's tea country, one or two nights in Thekkady near Periyar Tiger Reserve, and a night on a private houseboat in Alleppey. Many end with a few days at Kovalam, Varkala or Marari beach.
Because this is a domestic trip, there is no visa paperwork and flights are short. That makes Kerala a good fit for Puja holidays, Christmas and New Year breaks, summer vacation and honeymoons. Most families from Kolkata book 5 to 9 nights.

Getting there
Flights to Kerala from Kolkata International Airport (CCU)
Kochi (COK) is the best arrival airport for Munnar, Thekkady and the backwaters. Thiruvananthapuram (TRV) suits trips that start or end at Kovalam, Varkala or Kanyakumari. Many guests fly into Kochi and out of Thiruvananthapuram so they don't have to drive back.

How to book a Kerala Tour Package from Kolkata?
Booking Kerala Tour Packages from Kolkata-4 Steps
Kerala is a short 3 hours domestic flight from Kolkata. The main thing to plan around is timing, because Puja, Christmas and summer-vacation dates fill up fast.
Pick your dates
Kerala’s weather is best from October to March. If you’re travelling over Durga Puja, Diwali or Christmas, plan 6 to 8 weeks ahead.
Block your hotels first
Send us your dates. We’ll hold hotels and houseboats while you compare flights, so you don’t lose rooms in peak week.
Book Kolkata–Kochi flights
Nonstop flights to Kochi take about 3 hours. Flying home from Thiruvananthapuram saves a long drive back on the last day
Carry photo ID
Each traveller needs a government photo ID, such as Aadhaar, a passport or a voter ID. Hotels and houseboats ask for it at check-in, and children need one too.

FAQs
Kerala trips from Kolkata: common questions
How many days are enough for a Kerala trip from Kolkata?
Plan at least 5 to 6 nights to cover Munnar, Thekkady and an Alleppey houseboat without rushing. With 8 to 9 nights you can add Kumarakom and a beach such as Kovalam or Varkala. A 3-night trip works for a long weekend if you limit it to Kochi, Munnar and the backwaters.
What is the cost of a Kerala tour package from Kolkata?
Our Kerala packages start from ₹14,850 per person on twin sharing for 4 days, and from ₹36,500 for a 9-day tour, excluding flights. The final price depends on dates, hotel category and the number of travellers. Return flights from Kolkata to Kochi usually add ₹9,000 to ₹18,000 per person, and more in peak season.
Is there a direct flight from Kolkata to Kerala?
Yes. Nonstop flights run between Kolkata (CCU) and Kochi (COK) and take about 3 hours. Flights to Thiruvananthapuram usually connect via Bengaluru, Chennai or Hyderabad. Schedules change by season, so check current flights when you book.
Is Kerala a good choice for Durga Puja holidays?
Yes. October falls just after the monsoon, so the hills are green, the waterfalls are full and the weather is pleasant. Puja week is one of the busiest times for travellers from Kolkata, so book hotels and flights 6 to 8 weeks ahead.
Can I get Bengali or familiar food in Kerala?
Kerala food is rice-based, and fish curry is common, so many guests from Kolkata feel at home. Bengali dishes aren't widely available, but we can ask hotels and houseboats for milder spice levels, plain rice-dal-fish meals, and vegetarian or Jain food
Can I travel to Kerala from Kolkata by train?
Yes. Long-distance trains from Shalimar and Howrah reach Ernakulam and Thiruvananthapuram in about two days. We'll arrange pickup at the station and plan an easy first day.
