The best time for a Kerala vacation package in Kochi is typically from October through December, when the weather is pleasant and demand is highest. Highs in November are around 86°F, and in December, they reach about 87°F. This period also includes major celebrations like Christmas in December, and the Onam festival often falls between August and September, showcasing vibrant local culture.


If you'd prefer a quieter trip with fewer visitors, consider traveling in June, when highs are around 85°F, though this is also the wettest month. Conditions may differ elsewhere in the region.

When planning a Kerala vacation, consider these destinations based on your travel style:

• Kanayannur: A strong choice for families and business travelers, offering a mix of city attractions and outdoor activities with plenty of lodging options.
• Devikolam: Ideal for romantic getaways and those seeking outdoor adventures and scenic views, providing a tranquil setting.
• Thiruvananthapuram: Perfect for beach lovers and families, known for its coastal areas and a blend of outdoor and urban attractions.
• Vythiri: Another excellent option for romantic trips, with a focus on outdoor activities, scenic landscapes, and adventure.

Kerala is primarily an outdoor and nature destination, known for its lush landscapes and scenic views, but it also offers a rich blend of beach and cultural experiences. Travelers can enjoy the sandy shores of Kovalam Beach or Cherai Beach, or explore the serene backwaters by houseboat.


The region's deep history and diverse culture are evident in sites like the ancient Shri Padmanabhaswamy Temple and the historic Mattancherry Palace. With its blend of natural beauty, vibrant festivals, and historical landmarks, a Kerala vacation can easily cater to both beach lovers and those seeking cultural immersion.

For a Kerala vacation, the main gateways are Cochin International Airport (COK) and Trivandrum International Airport (TRV). Cochin International Airport (COK) serves the central part of the region, including cities like Kochi and Kanayannur. Trivandrum International Airport (TRV) is located in the south and is convenient for destinations around Thiruvananthapuram. Both airports offer connections to various parts of Kerala.

For a diverse Kerala vacation, consider basing your trip in Kanayannur, a central hub with many attractions. From here, you can explore a mix of city sights, beaches, and natural wonders.


Top things to do include visiting the historic Bolgatty Palace, about a 15-minute walk from central Kanayannur, or strolling along Marine Drive, about a 10-minute walk away. You can also relax at Cherai Beach, about 11 miles from central Kanayannur. Further afield, explore the scenic Kovalam Beach in the south or the impressive Jatayu Earth's Center for outdoor activities. Don't miss a serene backwater tour, like the highly-rated 6-hour Alleppey Houseboat Tour, to experience Kerala's unique waterways.
