Planning a budget trip to Kerala is not as hard as you may think. You can plan a budget-friendly and amazing trip by keeping the following points in mind. Be smart with money and plan ahead. Make arrangements for transport and accommodation in advance to get good deals. Choose hotels over resorts. Staying in hotels is not only comfortable but also affordable. Also, they give you a glimpse of Kerala's real culture and its people. Opt to travel in the off-season for huge discounts. Scheduling your vacation during the off-season also helps in avoiding crowds which is a prominent factor during peak season. Opt for public transport for local commuting such as buses which are an affordable option for traveling within cities and towns. Having a well-planned itinerary is another way to plan a budget Kerala tour.
Kerala is an ideal destination throughout the year. However, the best time to visit Kerala is from September to March when the weather is pleasant making it easy for tourists to explore the state.
Watching the Neelakurinji bloom in Munnar, trying varied tea flavors in Munnar, enjoying the iconic Snake Boat Race in Alleppey, taking a spice tour in Thekkady, going on a jeep ride in Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, and staying in a treehouse in Wayanad are some of the best things to do on a Kerala tour.
Kerala is a complex destination with a variety of things to do and places to visit. To be able to explore the best tourist places in Kerala, an ideal duration of 4 days would work wonders.
It is probably not the best idea to go to Kerala during the heavy rain and flooding season from June to August unless you're looking for a more chill time and want to avoid crowds. For the best weather, sightseeing, and activities, December to January in Kerala is the most suitable and popular time for tourists to visit.
Yes, it is possible to go to Kerala without a package. You can plan your itinerary according to your choices and requirements. However, it will be a little challenging to find a hotel and houseboat there if you do not book in advance.
5 days in Kerala is enough to see its major destinations and engage in thrilling activities that this state offers. Though Kerala has a lot to offer, a 5-day Kerala trip offers the perfect mix of diverse experiences ranging from exploring its amazing cities to historical attractions, serene backwaters, palm-fringed beaches, and refreshing hills.
The cost of a Kerala trip will depend on many factors like the duration of the trip, accommodation types, destinations, mode of transport, meals, and the tour operator you choose. At Iris Holidays, we have everything from budget Kerala tour packages starting at a nominal rate of INR 3,900/- to ultra-luxury Kerala holiday packages at INR 78,000/- offering stays in top 5-star properties and luxurious amenities throughout the trip.
