Kerala Tour Packages from Mumbai

Our standard Kerala tour packages from Mumbai run from a 2 nights and 3 days weekend to a 9 nights and 10 days full tour, from Rs.3,184 to 14,999 per person, standard package, land only. With Kochi under two hours away, we recommend the 4 nights and 5 days Kerala Classic through Munnar, Thekkady and the Alleppey backwaters. Flights are extra.

From Mumbai, Kerala is close enough to be a long weekend. That single fact should shape how you read every one of these Kerala tour packages from Mumbai. The flight to Kochi is under two hours, with ten to fourteen nonstop services a day, so this is not a trip you have to hoard a full week of leave for.

trip2keralam is a Kerala-based operator, and our team works on the ground across the state. We run these routes ourselves, book the same hotels and houseboats, and stay reachable by phone while you travel. Every price on this page is land only, per person on twin sharing, taken from our current rate sheet. Flights from Mumbai are separate, and we tell you exactly where they fit.

Below are four durations that make sense from Mumbai, from a two-night weekend to a six-day circuit. One is marked as the trip we recommend and written out day by day. You also get the full inclusions, the exclusions in plain language, and where GST and airfare sit.

Here is what makes Mumbai different from the northern cities. Your flight lands into Kochi, and the classic route loops back to Kochi, so there is no open-jaw ticket to buy and no backtrack day to lose. A short flight and a round trip from one airport is what makes even a two-night Kerala break worth booking from Mumbai.

Most Popular Kerala Package from Mumbai with Trip Cost

If you make just one trip from Mumbai, we point you to the 4 nights and 5 days Kerala Classic at Rs.6,456 per person on twin sharing, land only, because it packs the whole of classic Kerala into the shortest stay that still feels unhurried. It runs Kochi to Munnar for the tea estates at around 1,600 metres, down to Thekkady for the spice plantations and the Periyar Lake cruise, then a houseboat night on the Alleppey backwaters before looping back to Kochi for your flight home.

We recommend this one from Mumbai for a simple reason. Your flight is short, so you do not need six or seven nights to justify the airfare the way a traveller from the far north would. Four nights covers hills, spice, wildlife and backwaters at a sensible pace, and because it starts and finishes at Kochi you fly in and out of the same airport with no wasted backtrack day.

Compare the four Mumbai durations side by side

The 2 nights and 3 days Munnar and Alleppey Express is the weekend version, one night in the Munnar tea hills and one on an Alleppey houseboat. It is genuinely doable from Mumbai because the flight is so short, but we are honest that Day 2 is close to five hours in the car as you drop from Munnar to the backwaters, so it suits couples and friends more than families with small children.

The 3 nights and 4 days Munnar and Alleppey Houseboat Escape spread that same hills-and-houseboat idea over an extra night. You get a full Munnar sightseeing day instead of a rushed afternoon, and the run to the boat stops being a race. This is the one we suggest for most first-timers who can add a day either side of a weekend.

The 4 nights and 5 days Kerala Classic adds Thekkady, which brings the spice plantations and the Periyar Lake cruise into the trip. This is the recommended pick, the point where the route covers the full range of what Kerala does with no filler day and no repeated road.

The 5 nights and 6 days Golden Circuit is the same classic route with a Fort Kochi night added at the front, so your flight day ends with a heritage walk rather than a long drive. Choose it if you land tired and want to ease in, or if the old port and a Kathakali evening matter to you.

The recommended 4N/5D route, day by day

Day 1  Kochi to Munnar through waterfall country

We pick you up at Kochi airport or Ernakulam station and drive up to Munnar, with halts at the Cheeyappara and Valara falls where the road runs right beside the water. The tea slopes open out as you climb. The evening is free to settle in. Overnight in Munnar.

Day 2  Munnar: dams, viewpoints and tea estates

A full local day around Munnar, taking in Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point, Kundala Lake, Top Station, the Tata Tea Museum and Photo Point. Do Top Station first thing, before the cloud settles and takes the valley with it. Overnight in Munnar.

Day 3  Thekkady: spice plantations and an evening of Kalari

Down to Thekkady through the cardamom hills for a guided spice plantation walk at Kumily, where cardamom, pepper and vanilla grow close enough to crack a pod open in your hand. An optional evening Kathakali and Kalaripayattu show is easy to add. Overnight in Thekkady.

Day 4  Boarding the houseboat at Alleppey

An early boat cruise on Periyar Lake, when the animals are still coming down to drink and the water is quiet, then drive to Alleppey to board your houseboat around midday. Lunch comes out as the boat pulls away, the afternoon runs along the Kuttanad canals, and the crew cooks dinner as you moor for sunset. Every meal on the boat is included. Overnight on the houseboat.

Day 5  Breakfast on the water, back to Kochi

Breakfast on the boat, disembark in the morning, then the drive back to Kochi for your flight to Mumbai. If your flight is late in the day, tell us and we will fit a short Fort Kochi stop before the airport.

Prefer this at a gentler pace, or with a night by the sea tacked on the end? Message us how you like to travel and we will rebuild the five days and re-price them, no obligation.

Kerala Trip Cost from Mumbai?

Here is how the starting price moves with the length of the trip, from a two-night weekend to a full ten-day tour. All figures are the lowest land-only, per-person rate on twin sharing for that duration, from our current rate sheet as of August 2026, and confirmed against your dates before you book.

From Mumbai we most often book the shorter half of this table, 2 nights to 5 nights, because the short flight makes it worth it and they fit a normal stretch of leave. The longer tours suit a bigger holiday when you want the whole state rather than the highlights.

Two costs sit on top. Mumbai flights are separate, since every price here is land only, and GST applies at the current slab. To hold a booking we take 50 percent of the package amount, with the balance due before departure or on arrival. Rates move on peak dates, roughly 20 December to 5 January, Onam, Christmas, New Year and long weekends, and we flag that before you pay. Room and meal-plan upgrades, from bed-and-breakfast to half or full board, are re-quoted per booking.

Best Time to Visit Kerala

• September to March: the main season and the window we plan most Mumbai trips into. The weather holds right across the hills, the backwaters and the coast.
• October to February: the driest, clearest stretch and the easiest for a first Kerala trip, when the Munnar viewpoints hold their view longest.
• December to January: Munnar turns cold and the skies clear, which most travellers welcome, but this is also the peak-price window from 20 December to 5 January, so book two to three months out.
• April and May: hot and humid on the coast, and Mumbai school holidays fill family resorts early, so this suits shorter hill trips more than beach ones.
• June to September: the monsoon. Green, quiet and cheaper, and traditionally the best season for Ayurveda, but some Varkala cliff businesses and Wayanad trails close, and a heavy-rain day can reshuffle a plan.
