Kerala Honeymoon Packages From Kolkata

About kerala: rated 4.3/5 (based on 11216 reviews) | Packages starting from ₹21,080/-

Kerala Honeymoon Package From Kolkata

Kerala is nestled by Karnataka to the north, Tamil Nadu to the east and south, and by the Lakshadweep sea to the west. Although they were ousted by the Dutch, they have left behind surreal churches that are a sight to wonder at during events such as Christmas and New Year’s.
Praise for Kerala’s folklore such as Kathakali resounds in every part of the world. The quality of rice that grows in Kerala is incomparable.

Best Time to Visit Kerala

Winter (September to March)

Winter is arguably the best season to visit Kerala in. Munnar, Thekkady, Kovalam, Alleppey and Kumarakom are some of the best places to visit during this season. As the weather is cool and comfortable, you must pack moderately warm comfortable clothes for a trip to Kerala during this season. This is the season when tourists usually visit Kerala. Therefore, you find a good crowd and a decrease in the hotel fares. Indira Gandhi Boat Race, Onam and Aranmula Boat Race take place in Kerala during winters. With typical Kerala Honeymoon Packages from Kolkata, you can expect to visit during winters.

Summer (April to May)

Summer is not the best season to visit Kerala. The weather would be way too hot to bear during daytime and you can expect a sudden shower of rain during the evenings. However, depending upon your preferences, this could be your season to visit. As Kerala is a coastal town, the humidity level rises during summer. 

Monsoon (June to August)

Kerala, in general is a rainy state. However, during monsoons, it is raining cats and dogs throughout the state. Kerala is also prone to floods during this season. Therefore, monsoon might not be the best season to visit Kerala. Although, you may find that the hotel fares are affordable and encounter lesser crowds. 

How to Reach

The approximate distance between Kerala and Kolkata is 2356 km. You can find a number of ways to cover this distance between Kerala and Kolkata. Depending on your preference, you can choose amongst travelling by air, train or by road. The fastest route would be by air while the slowest would be by train. Dive into the details of some of these travel options.

By air

A number of flights operate between Kerala and Kolkata. Depending upon your Kerala Honeymoon Packages from Kolkata, you have a number of airports to choose from. You can land anywhere from Kochi to Kannur. The approximate time taken by flight is 5hr 17min. The ticket fares can range anywhere between 3000 to 5000 Indian rupees depending upon your destination as well as how long ago did you book the tickets.

By train

Another option is to go to Kerala via train. The journey will last approximately 45hr 35min. Indian Railways is one of the trains that operate between Kolkata and Kerala twice a week. The ticket fares would be much cheaper than flight, approximately 1500 to 3000 Indian rupees. This will give you added time to spend with your partner.

By road

The duration by road between Kolkata and Kerala is 27hr 35 min. You could travel via bus or by a private car. This would be the cheapest mode of travel. Red Buses operate between Kolkata and Kerala and charge approximately 650 to 950 Indian rupees.

Ideal Duration

We understand that no matter the duration of our packages, you will always want more time to spend alone with your beloved away from the duties and responsibilities of your daily life. Keeping in mind your requirements, we have come up with an ideal duration for your trip to Kerala. The most ideal duration for which to visit Kerala would be 6 Night and 7 Days. This is the typical duration offered in most Kerala Honeymoon Packages from Kolkata.

Bengaluru

Venkatesh's 3 days trip to Kerala

Entire trip was good and enjoyed with family, one experience could have been improved, after finalising the package cost, the hotel costs were increased by 6000 Rs. these type of decisions should be kept us informed before finalising the package. The hotel cost revision was informed after we made t
he payment of our first instalment. This was bitter experience to be honest. Spent a wonderful time with our friends and family

Md's 4 days trip to Kerala

Review of Our Kerala Trip with Travel Triangle & Wonder Sky Travels We recently completed a 4-day family trip to Munnar and Alleppey, Kerala, which was beautifully arranged by Travel Triangle in collaboration with Wonder Sky Travels. A special thanks to Ms. Divya , Ms. Radhika, Mr. Sandeep from Wo
nder Sky Travels for their excellent coordination throughout the trip. They ensured everything went smoothly without any inconvenience. The hotel booked for us — The View Munnar — truly lived up to its name, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful stay. The houseboat experience in Alleppey was another highlight — a perfect place to relax and enjoy quality time with family and friends& Mararikulam Beach in Allpuzha. We would also like to appreciate our cab driver, Mr. Prajith, who made our journey even more delightful. He was very friendly, punctual, and jovial, and his driving skills were excellent. Overall, our Kerala trip organized by Travel Triangle and Wonder Sky Travels was a wonderful and memorable experience. We truly appreciate their efforts and would definitely recommend their services to others.

Tips for Travellers

  • It would be best to visit Kerala during the winter months, when the weather is comfortable and the hotel prices fall down a notch. You will find a good tourist crowd during this time of year which would help you find company. However, you will find that the people of Kerala are quite welcoming as it is.
  • It would be safe to assume that you shall participate in a number of water sports activities that are available in Kerala. Be sure to pack all the necessary water gear as well as beach-wear as Kerala has a number of beautiful beaches to offer.
 

There is not much left to say after you’ve checked out all the beauty and natural resources that Kerala has to offer. This is the best place to come to with your partner and let the magic of Kerala play its charm. Walk through the forests of Kerala hand-in-hand with your beloved.
