Best Time to plan for a Kerala package from Delhi
Kavita Mehra, one of our travellers from Delhi who booked the South India Tour Package from Bangalore, reviewed it in January 2026, saying, “Flew in from Delhi, and the transition to the peaceful hills of Munnar was so smooth and refreshing. The weather is just perfect this time of year, chilly enough for jackets but pleasant during the day. A very transparent and reliable travel partner for North Indians.”
You can visit Kerala all year round, as each season offers unique experiences and distinct advantages.
October to February (Best for Sightseeing)
Best season for first-time Kerala travellers, with a temperature ranging between 18°C and 29 °C.
With cold and dry weather and humidity at its lowest, this season provides the ideal time for houseboats in Alleppey, beach lounging in Kovalam and visiting tea gardens in Munnar.
Kerala's winter temperature is comfortable for Delhi tourists who are accustomed to hard North Indian winters.
This period also hosts the vibrant Cochin Carnival (December).
March to May (off-beat Season)
This season is considered the prime off-beat season with a temperature of 32°C to 36°C.
The tourist crowd is much smaller with heavy discounts on luxury resorts and flights. Hill stations like Munnar and Wayanad remain relatively cooler, which makes them a better option for tourists from Delhi if planning a Kerala trip during this season.
Thrissur Pooram, celebrated between April and May, is one of India's most spectacular temple festivals to witness as a tourist.
June to September (Best for greenery)
This season is distributed with frequent to heavy rainfall, with temperatures of 23°C to 29°C.
The best time to witness clean, dust-free Kerala, covered with lush green forests, more lively waterfalls and effective Ayurvedic treatment packages, is in this season.
Roads of Munnar and Thekkady can be affected by landslides, and beaches like Kovalam and Varkala can face rough beach conditions because of the weather.
Onam, which is Kerala's most important cultural festival, is celebrated in this season, which is one of the prime reasons to attract tourists during this season.

Our kids especially enjoyed the scenic landscapes and wildlife experiences. The entire journey was very well managed, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. Highly recommended for a peaceful family getaway!
Very well organized trip. The support received from the Thrillophilia Sales person Chitransh Mathur was commendable, always accessible, always helpful and polite.
The Kerala driver while very polite, well dressed and punctual.
Loved the serenity of the backwaters after the constant noise of the capital city. It’s so different from the chaos of Delhi; we actually felt like we were on a vacation. The support team kept in touch with us daily on WhatsApp to ensure everything was going according to plan. The hotel in Kochi was right in the middle of the heritage area, making it easy to explore the local markets and cafes during our free time.
Kerala ki haryali dekh kar maza aa gaya, it is so much more beautiful than the pictures on the website. The houseboat in Alleppey was better than any luxury hotel we've stayed in before. Thanks to Varun for customizing the dates at the last minute when our flights got rescheduled. This was our first time in South India and the hospitality was absolutely heartwarming. We are already planning to come back next year with our extended family.
The martial arts show Kalaripayattu was the highlight of our evening in Thekkady; the performers were incredibly skilled. The food options throughout the trip were plenty, even for us being strict vegetarians. Very professional service with a focus on customer satisfaction. The houseboat stay was a unique experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Kerala for the first time. The staff on the boat was very friendly and helpful.
Flew in from Delhi and the transition to the peaceful hills of Munnar was so smooth and refreshing. The weather is just perfect this time of year, chilly enough for jackets but pleasant during the day. Manoj did a great job with the resort selection; the view from our balcony was simply stunning. Everything was handled professionally and we never felt like we were being up-sold on anything. A very transparent and reliable travel partner for North Indians.
The spice plantation tour in Thekkady was very educational for the kids and us. We bought a lot of authentic oils and spices to take back to Delhi for our friends. The private van provided was very comfortable and the driver was knowledgeable about the local history and culture. Everything was well-organized from the airport pickup to the final drop-off. We really enjoyed the elephant ride and the bamboo rafting experience in Periyar.
Kerala Tours From delhi FAQs
Are there any direct flights to Kerala from Delhi?
Yes, there are direct flights to Kerala from Delhi. Airports such as Trivandrum International Airport (Thiruvananthapuram), Cochin International Airport (Kochi), and Calicut International Airport (Kozhikode) have regular direct flights from Delhi. Air India, Indigo, and Air India Express operate on these routes and provide convenient and time-efficient travel options between Delhi and different cities in Kerala.
How Much Does a Kerala Tour Package From Delhi Cost in 2026?
In 2026, a standard 5-to-7-day Kerala package from Delhi typically costs between ₹22,000 and ₹45,000 per person, including flights, mid-range accommodations, transfers, and sightseeing. Budget travellers using train transit can find basic packages starting around ₹12,000 to ₹15,000, while premium or luxury experiential itineraries featuring high-end resorts and private houseboats range from ₹55,000 to over ₹90,000 per person.
Which Kerala Airport Should I Choose From Delhi?
Choose Cochin International Airport (COK) if your itinerary focuses on the popular central circuit of Munnar, Thekkady, and Alleppey houseboats, as it offers the most direct flights and central connectivity. Select Trivandrum International Airport (TRV) if you are heading straight to southern beach destinations like Kovalam, Varkala, or Poovar Island. For exploring the less-crowded hills of Wayanad and northern historic spots, opt for Calicut (CCJ) or Kannur (CNN) airports.
How many days are enough for the Kerala package from Delhi?
The classic Kochi + Munnar + Thekkady + Alleppey circuit needs 6 to 7 nights; 4 to 5 nights work for a compact single-region route (Kochi + Munnar only, or Trivandrum + Kovalam only); under 4 nights is too short for meaningful Kerala travel, given flight and road time.
What Is the Best Kerala Route From Delhi for 5 to 7 Days?
The best 5-to-7-day Kerala itinerary route is the Classic Central Circuit: Kochi to Munnar to Thekkady to Alleppey and then Kochi. This geographic loop begins and ends at Cochin International Airport (COK), which has the highest frequency of direct flights from Delhi. It maximises your holiday by efficiently packing Kerala's iconic highlights, historic port towns, misty tea hills, spice plantations, and overnight backwater houseboat cruises into a single, low-fatigue road journey.
Should I Choose a Kochi-Led or Trivandrum-Led Kerala Package From Delhi?
Choose a Kochi-led package if you want a classic, fast-paced vacation covering Munnar’s tea hills, Periyar's wildlife, and Alleppey's backwaters via the highest frequency of direct flights from Delhi [COK]. Opt for a Trivandrum-led package if your priority is a relaxed, wellness-focused holiday centred on the cliffside beaches of Varkala, Kovalam’s luxury resorts, and Poovar Island's mangrove backwaters.
Is Monsoon a Good Time to Visit Kerala From Delhi?
Yes, the monsoon (June to August) is an excellent time if your goal is an affordable, crowd-free wellness holiday centred around authentic Ayurvedic treatments and lush green landscapes. However, it is not ideal for standard sightseeing, as heavy downpours frequently disrupt outdoor beach activities, plantation treks, and houseboat cruises. It ultimately serves as a refreshing, slow-paced escape from Delhi's humid summer heatwaves.
Is a Houseboat Mandatory in a Kerala Tour Package from Delhi?
No, a houseboat stay is not mandatory, as you can experience Kerala’s iconic backwaters via more affordable day cruises, shikara boats, or public ferries. Opting out of an overnight houseboat stay saves a significant portion of your budget and allows you to stay in premium land-based waterfront resorts in Kumarakom or Alleppey instead. This flexibility is ideal for Delhi tourists who prefer steady hotel amenities, reliable air conditioning, and unlimited exploring time on land.
What Is the Best Kerala Package From Delhi for Families?
The best Kerala tour package for families is the 6-Day Family Fun & Leisure Itinerary (Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey Resort, Kochi). It balances kids' activities like spice garden walks, elephant interactions, and Kathakali shows with relaxing stays in family-friendly hill and backwater resorts. Choosing a stable lakeside resort in Kumarakom or Alleppey with a daytime shikara cruise is highly recommended over an overnight houseboat to ensure safety, open spaces, and modern amenities for children and elderly parents alike.
Do Delhi Tourists Need Special Permits or Vaccinations to Visit Kerala?
No, Delhi tourists do not require any inner-line permits, travel passes, or mandatory vaccinations to enter Kerala. You only need to carry standard government-issued photo identification, such as an Aadhaar card or driving licence, for airport check-ins and hotel registrations. It is, however, highly recommended to carry personal insect repellents and motion sickness medications for the winding roads up to Munnar.
