Kerala Honeymoon Packages

Get to know more about Kerala before booking your honeymoon packages

Kerala is located on the southwestern Malabar Coast. It came into existence in 1956 after Malayalam speaking regions were reorganized. Kerala was ruled by many dynasties over the centuries, the most notable among them being the Chera Dynasty, the Ay kingdom, and the Ezhimala kingdom. In the latter ages, colonial powers were attracted to this region. The abundance of precious spices here brought the first European traders-the Portuguese to this place. This was the beginning of a lengthy phase of other colonial rulers coming here and exploiting the natural resources for their gains.

And since independence, Kerala has taken massive progressive strides. It is the most literate state and also the one with the highest life expectancy. It leads the country in the production of pepper and rubber in the country. Due to the abundance of scenic beauty and a salubrious climate, Kerala tourism has boomed and is one of the most important economic sectors in the state.

For couples on a Kerala trip package, Kerala is not just a destination but an experience to get totally consumed. And the memories of the trip will not leave your heart anytime soon. A honeymoon is a special time for a couple to know each other better and Kerala honeymoon packages provide the most spectacular backdrop to your sweet nothings.

Things to Do in Kerala during your Honeymoon

There cannot be a veritable list for all things to do and see for couples on a Kerala tour. The inclusions would depend upon your taste, preference, and need. However, to ease planning a Kerala honeymoon tour, here are a few places that shouldn’t be missed.

• Munnar:

Arguably the top destination in Kerala, this dreamy hill station is nestled cosily on the banks of three rivers- Madupetti, Nallathanni, and Periavaru. The drive up to Munnar is replete with glorious views. Pretty little hillocks pregnant with lush forests give way to miles and miles of world-renowned tea plantations and all of a sudden you catch a glimpse of the mist-covered town. Munnar is also home to a few highly endangered species like the Nilgiri Thar and the Neelakurinji. While couples are on their Kerala honeymoon packages, the tea museum would be a unique place to visit. The Madupetti Dam offers scenic views of the Madupetti River. The Eravikulam National Park and Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary let you see the native flora and fauna, up close and personal. You can find homemade chocolates, high-quality tea and soaps in the little market here.

• Alleppey:

The best honeymoon packages in Kerala all include a visit to Alleppey. Alleppey is not only known for its backwaters but also its beaches, temples and world-renowned Ayurvedic wellness centres. The backwaters is an umbrella term used for the vast network of waterways, canals, lagoons, and lakes, running parallel to the Arabian sea. The houseboats, meandering over the waters, have earned Alleppey the sobriquet ‘Venice of the East’. A hidden gem, Kakkathuruthu Island, on Vembanad Lake has been described by the National Geographic Magazine as an ‘outstanding sunset spot’.

• Fort Kochi:

Couples who are landing in Kochi on their Kerala packages for couples should make time to visit Fort Kochi that seems to be from some other part of the world. Kochi or Cochin was an important port in the spice route and attracted traders and merchants from all over the world and this eclectic influence can be seen in the architecture and historical buildings of this area. For couples on Kerala tour packages, there are many eateries serving world cuisine and the vibe is quite cosmopolitan and hip.

• Wayanad:

Wayanad exemplifies the beauty of the state in its truest sense. Spectacular mountains, striking cliffs, paddy fields and groves of coconut trees, it is a refreshing change from the hassles of city life. The geography of Wayanad has given birth to many adventure sports activities. Trekking with your loved one is a great way to bond and some popular trails here lead to Chembra Peak, Edakkal Caves, and Meenmutty Falls.

• Kovalam and Poovar Island:

Kovalam boasts of perhaps the most famous beach in Kerala. Laze around, bask in the sun or just soak in the salty ocean breeze with your partner, this beach is as stunning as it gets. About a 30-minute drive from Kovalam is the Poovar Island which offers an off the beaten track experience with its water bungalows. Lying at the cusp of the Neyyar River and the Arabian Sea, the island spells romance and would be a great inclusion in Kerala honeymoon packages. 

Apart from the above, there are so many other places to be explored during your honeymoon in Kerala, India. Kannur, Trivandrum, Varkala, Marari Beach, Bekal, Periyar Tiger Reserve - all have a charm of their own.

Best Time to Visit Kerala

The best time to take a honeymoon trip to Kerala is the winter season from September to February when the weather is pleasant. June to August are the monsoon months and the region experiences heavy rainfall and it could hamper your plans. The summer season (March to May) could prove to be too hot and humid to fully enjoy a honeymoon in Kerala.
