Kerala Travel FAQ

Comprehensive travel information for planning your perfect Kerala journey

💰 Budget & Cost Planning

Budget travelers: $20-40/day (₹1,500-3,000), Mid-range: $40-100/day (₹3,000-8,000), Luxury: $100-300+/day (₹8,000-25,000+). Includes accommodation, meals, transport, and activities.
Monsoon season (June-September) offers 30-50% discounts but limited activities. Shoulder seasons (April-May, October) provide good value with decent weather.
Our estimates are based on current market rates and include seasonal variations. Actual costs may vary by 10-20% depending on specific choices, negotiation, and market conditions.

📍 Regions & Destinations

Central and South Kerala offer the classic experience: Kochi (culture), Munnar (hills), Alleppey (backwaters), and Kovalam (beaches). North Kerala is great for repeat visitors seeking off-beaten experiences.
South Kerala: 5-7 days (beaches + backwaters), Central Kerala: 4-6 days (hills + culture), North Kerala: 3-5 days (nature + culture). Minimum 10 days recommended for comprehensive coverage.
Most efficient: Kochi → Munnar → Thekkady → Alleppey → Kovalam → Trivandrum. Add Wayanad or Kannur for North Kerala. Allow 2-3 days per major destination.

🏨 Accommodation & Booking

Homestays offer authentic local experience, home-cooked meals, and cultural immersion at budget-friendly prices. Hotels provide standardized service, amenities, and privacy at higher costs.
Peak season (Dec-Feb): 4-6 weeks ahead. Shoulder season: 2-3 weeks. Monsoon: 1-2 weeks sufficient. Houseboats and luxury resorts need earlier booking.
Varies by operator and season. Generally: 100% refund 15+ days prior, sliding scale closer to arrival. Travel insurance recommended for international visitors.

🚗 Transportation

Kerala State Road Transport buses are cheapest for long distances. For groups of 3+, private car rental becomes cost-effective and offers flexibility.
Challenging due to traffic, narrow roads, and local driving styles. Hire a driver with car rental for stress-free experience. International driving permit required for self-drive.
Excellent along the coast (Kochi-Alleppey-Kollam-Trivandrum). Limited to hill stations like Munnar. Book advance reservations for comfortable travel.

🌴 Best Time & Weather

Beach activities: Oct-Mar, Hill stations: Year-round (avoid monsoon), Backwaters: Oct-Apr, Wildlife: Nov-Apr, Ayurveda: May-Oct (traditional monsoon treatment season).
Southwest monsoon (June-Sep): Heavy rains, lush greenery, Ayurveda season, fewer crowds, great discounts. Northeast monsoon (Oct-Nov): Light showers, pleasant weather.
Coastal: 25-35°C, light cotton clothing. Hills: 15-25°C, layers recommended for evenings. Monsoon: Waterproof gear essential. Modest clothing preferred for temple visits.

✈️ Travel Logistics

Kochi (COK) - Central Kerala, Trivandrum (TRV) - South Kerala, Calicut (CCJ) - North Kerala. Kochi has most international connections and central location.
International visitors: Indian e-Visa required (apply 4-120 days ahead). US citizens: 365-day multiple entry visa available. No visa for Indian citizens obviously.
Indian Rupee (INR). Credit/debit cards widely accepted in cities. UPI payments common for Indians. ATMs available in tourist areas. Carry cash for remote locations.
