Private Luxury Kerala Tour Packages Discover Tailor-Made Backwaters, Hills & Beach Experiences
Personally Curated 7–15 Day Kerala Holiday Itineraries, Private Houseboats & Custom Journeys
Kerala isn’t the kind of place you “cover” in a hurry. It’s a destination best experienced slowly, where coastal landscapes give way to misty, tea-covered hills and quiet backwaters reveal a different rhythm of life. That’s why our private luxury Kerala tour packages are designed around comfort, authentic experiences and seamless travel for guests from the UK, Europe, Australia and the USA.
Each tailor-made Kerala holiday runs for 7 to 15 days and can combine the tea estates of Munnar, spice gardens and wildlife in Thekkady (Periyar), a private houseboat cruise through the backwaters, and relaxed days on the beaches of Kovalam, Varkala or Marari.
Most travellers underestimate distances in Kerala. The journey from Kochi (Cochin) to Munnar is not just a drive. It is a gradual transition from heritage streets to cool mountain landscapes covered in endless tea gardens. A day or two later, Alleppey slows everything down again, where a private luxury houseboat takes you through peaceful canals and authentic village life. This natural rhythm is why careful planning matters: the right balance of exploration and relaxation lets you enjoy Kerala without rushing from place to place.
Whether you are planning a honeymoon, a family holiday or a wellness-focused vacation with Ayurveda, Kerala also pairs well with a longer journey. Many guests add it to the Golden Triangle or Rajasthan, or continue through our South India tours.
Every private luxury Kerala holiday includes a chauffeur-driven air-conditioned vehicle, airport and railway transfers, personally selected boutique stays and comfortable houseboats, all arranged by our Jaipur-based India specialists.
