A Kerala trip from Chennai and a Kerala trip from Delhi can be priced very different due to the available modes of transportation and their distance to Kerala.
Flights Overview
For travellers planning a budget trip to Kerala, you can consider train journeys, available from most Indian cities. However, despite being more economical compared to flights, the long duration of 37-40 hours one-way can be too physically strenuous, especially if you’re travelling with children or elders.
For added convenience, Thrillophilia offers select Kerala tour packages with flights, which eliminates variability of flight pricing and offers a more stable figure. Due to bulk deals, these packages sometimes offer better pricing than booking flights individually, making it a more budget-friendly option for travellers.
Since Kerala has very distinctive destinations offering diverse experiences, from coastal activities to relaxing in hill stations, your departure window significantly influences how your overall trip will look.
