Kerala Tour Packages from Ahmedabad

Our standard Kerala tour packages from Ahmedabad start from Rs.6,456/- per person for a 4 nights and 5 days circuit,land only, and run up to a 9 nights and 10 days grand tour from Rs.14,499/-. Flights are separate. The trip we suggest first is the 6 nights and 7 days Family Grand Tour at Rs. 8,499/- hills and backwaters ending on a Marari beach day, flying in and out of Kochi.

Most people booking from Ahmedabad are not coming for a weekend. They are coming as a family or a group, once, and they want the trip to be worth the flight. That single point shapes this whole page. We have built it around routes that fly into Kochi and come back to Kochi, so your air ticket stays one simple round trip rather than an open-jaw puzzle across two airports.

The other thing to settle upfront is the flight itself. A nonstop from Ahmedabad to Kochi takes about 2 hours 25 to 2 hours 30 minutes, but there are only a handful of them a week, so most travellers end up on a one-stop through Mumbai, Bengaluru or Hyderabad. Once you have spent that much of a day getting here, a two-night dash makes no sense. Five to eight nights does.

We are trip2keralam, a Kerala-based team that runs these routes on the ground. We book the same hotels and houseboats every week, we drive these roads, and we stay reachable through your trip. This page is written from that, not from a brochure.

Below are five durations that actually work from Ahmedabad. One is marked as the trip we recommend and written out day by day. You also get the full price table from a short circuit to a ten-day tour, exactly what is included, and honest notes on the drives and the seasons.

One honest point. From Ahmedabad the 2 nights and 3 days packages you will see advertised are poor value. You would spend close to six hours in the air, often with a connection at each end, for barely two nights in Kerala. They sit in the price table for completeness, but we would not book one ourselves and we do not push them.

Plan your trip:  Send us your travel dates and the ages of everyone coming, and our Kerala team will hold the hotels, the houseboat and the vehicle, then reply with one firm land-only price for the week.

Most Popular Kerala Package from Ahmedabad with Trip Cost

The 6 nights and 7 days Kerala Family Grand Tour, at Rs. 8,499 per person (standard package) on twin sharing, land only, is one of the best packages we run for travellers heading to Kerala from Ahmedabad. Kochi, two nights in Munnar, Thekkady, a houseboat night through Kuttanad, then a free day on Marari beach before a short run back to Kochi.

We recommend this one because it does the hard thing well: it stays a round trip to Kochi, it breaks up the driving so no day is punishing, and it ends on sand rather than in a hotel lobby. Marari is only about 25 minutes from Alleppey, which means the last transfer is gentle on grandparents and gives children an unstructured afternoon. For a group that has flown a long way, that finish matters more than squeezing in a sixth town.

Compare the five durations that make sense from Ahmedabad

Here is what each extra day buys. The 4 nights and 5 days Kerala Classic gives you Munnar, Thekkady and one houseboat night, which is the true core of Kerala on a tight window. The 5 nights and 6 days Golden Circuit is the same route with a night added at Kochi so the first day is not a scramble off the flight.

From six nights the trip changes character. The 6 nights and 7 days Family Grand Tour swaps the second hill town for a beach finish at Marari. The 7 nights and 8 days Complete Family Circuit adds the Athirappilly falls near Kochi and a night on the beach. The 8 nights and 9 days Explorer stretches Thekkady to two nights and slows everything down, which is the version large family groups tend to pick for an annual holiday.

Day by day: the 6 nights and 7 days Family Grand Tour

Day 1 Fort Kochi, five centuries of trade in one short walk

We meet you at Kochi airport or the railway station and settle you into Fort Kochi. The afternoon is a slow walk along the waterfront to the Chinese fishing nets, which you will not see anywhere else in India outside here and a stretch of Kollam, then Marine Drive as the light drops. An evening Kathakali show is there if you want it, payable at the venue. Overnight in Kochi.

Day 2 Climbing to Munnar through waterfall country

A drive up to Munnar, roughly four hours, does half your sightseeing for you. The road passes straight under the Cheeyappara and Valara falls, so there is no walk-in, just a stop at the roadside. The tea gardens start well before the town. An easy afternoon at Blossom Park before you check in. Overnight in Munnar.

Day 3 Munnar, dams, viewpoints and the tea story

A full local day at your own pace. Boating at Mattupetty Dam if the children want it, then Echo Point and Kundala Lake, and the Tata Tea Museum where the old rolling machinery still runs a demonstration. Photo Point on the way back. This is the day the group slows down and the trip stops feeling like travel. Overnight in Munnar.

Day 4 Down to Thekkady for spices and an evening of Kalari

The drive to Thekkady runs about three and a half to four hours through cardamom country. A guided spice plantation walk at Kumily puts vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper in front of you on the vine, which is more interesting than it sounds once you smell it fresh. An optional Kathakali and Kalaripayattu show in the evening, payable directly. Overnight in Thekkady.

Day 5 The Periyar cruise, then boarding the houseboat

An early boat cruise on Periyar Lake inside the reserve, best light and the best chance of seeing elephants at the water. Then the drive to Alleppey, about three and a half hours, to board your houseboat around noon. Lunch is served as the boat pushes off through the Kuttanad canals, paddy fields farmed below sea level slide past, and all meals that night are cooked on board. Overnight on the houseboat.

Day 6 Off the water and onto Marari beach

Breakfast on the boat, then you disembark mid-morning and drive about 25 minutes to Mararikulam. Marari is a working fishing village with a wide, quiet beach and no resort strip behind it, calmer and far less commercial than Kovalam. The afternoon is free on the sand. Fresh catch lands in the evening and gets cooked the same night. Overnight at Marari.

Day 7 A slow last morning, then Kochi

No early checkout scramble. A last morning on the beach, then the drive back to Kochi for your drop, roughly an hour and a half. You leave from the same airport you arrived at, which is exactly why this route suits an Ahmedabad flight.

Kerala Trip Cost from Ahmedabad?

Starting prices by duration, per person on twin sharing, land only, on bed and breakfast with the houseboat night on full board. These are current rate-sheet figures as of August 2026 and are confirmed against your dates when we quote.

A note on the short options. The 2 nights and 3 days and 3 nights and 4 days rows are on the table because people ask for them, but from Ahmedabad they mean spending most of the trip in transit. We would rather you took the 4 nights and 5 days Classic at the least.

Two costs sit on top of these. Flights from Ahmedabad are separate, since every price here is land only. GST applies on tour packages at the prevailing slab. Peak dates, roughly 20 December to 5 January and around Onam, Christmas and New Year, carry higher hotel rates, which we show in writing when we quote.

Best Time to Visit Kerala

• September to March: the main season and the window we plan most Ahmedabad trips into. Comfortable across hills, backwaters and coast.
• November to February: the calmest sea at Kovalam and Marari and the clearest air in the hills, which is why the beach-finish routes read best then.
• December to January: cold and misty in Munnar, which most families enjoy, but also the peak-pricing stretch from 20 December to 5 January when resorts fill and rates climb.
• April and May: hot and humid on the coast, and school-holiday demand fills family resorts early, so book two to three months out if you travel then.
• June to September: the monsoon. Green, quiet and cheaper, and traditionally the best season for an Ayurveda course, though some cliff and beach businesses shut.

Top Attractions Covered in Ahmedabad to Kerala Holiday Packages

What the featured family routes actually put in front of you:

• Fort Kochi: the Chinese fishing nets, St Francis Church, Mattancherry Palace and an evening Kathakali performance.
• Munnar: tea estates at around 1,600 metres, Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point, Kundala Lake and the Tata Tea Museum demonstration.
• Thekkady and Periyar: a guided spice plantation walks at Kumily and the Periyar Lake boat cruise inside the tiger reserve, with a chance of elephants.
• Alleppey backwaters: an overnight houseboat through the Kuttanad canals and Vembanad Lake, all meals cooked on board.
• Marari Beach: a working fishing-village beach about 25 minutes from Alleppey, calmer and less built-up than Kovalam, ideal as a final free day.
• Athirappilly Falls: on the 7 nights and 8 days and longer routes, a wide monsoon-fed waterfall an hour and a half from Kochi, at its fullest right after the rains.
