Kerala is one of the most loved holiday destinations for travellers from Delhi, and it is easy to see why. Green hills, calm backwaters, spice gardens and quiet beaches offer a complete break from the noise of the capital. If you are searching for the best Kerala tour package from Delhi, this guide covers everything you need, from the best time to travel and how to reach Kerala, to a detailed list of tour packages with pricing, so that you can plan a stress free holiday and book with confidence.
At TravelsYatra, we have been designing Kerala holidays for families, couples and groups travelling from Delhi for over a decade. Every package listed here is built from real traveller feedback, verified hotel partnerships and local Kerala operators we work with directly. Whether you want a relaxed backwaters trip or an active Munnar and Thekkady itinerary, you will find a suitable option below.
Why Kerala is Perfect for Nature and Relaxation Seekers
Kerala is often called God’s Own Country, and the name fits. Unlike destinations built around sightseeing checklists, Kerala rewards travellers who simply want to slow down. A houseboat gliding through the Alleppey backwaters at sunset, the smell of cardamom and tea in Munnar, or a quiet Ayurvedic massage after a long walk through a spice plantation, these are the experiences that draw people back to Kerala year after year.
For Delhi travellers dealing with pollution, traffic and extreme summer heat, Kerala’s cooler hill stations and coastal breeze offer genuine relief. The state is also well set up for tourism, with good roads, reliable homestays and English speaking guides, which makes it comfortable even for first time travellers or elderly family members.
Best Time to Visit Kerala from Delhi
Kerala can be visited almost any time of year, but the experience changes with the season.
- September to March: The most popular window, with pleasant weather, clear backwaters and comfortable sightseeing conditions. Ideal for first time visitors.
- April to May: Warm and humid, but a good time to catch lower hotel rates and fewer crowds at major sights.
- June to August: Monsoon season, when Kerala turns lush and green. This is also the preferred time for Ayurvedic treatments, since the humidity is considered beneficial for therapies.
If you are booking a Kerala tour package from Delhi around Christmas or New Year, plan at least six to eight weeks in advance, since Munnar and Alleppey hotels fill up quickly during this period.
How to Reach Kerala from Delhi
Delhi to Kerala is well connected by direct flights to Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode, with average flight time between three and a half to four hours. Most TravelsYatra Kerala Tour Packages from Delhi begin and end at Kochi (Cochin International Airport), since it offers the most convenient access to Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey.
We also assist with round trip flight bookings as part of customised packages, and can suggest the most convenient timings based on your travel dates. Train options exist as well, though flying remains the faster and more comfortable choice given the distance.
