How To Reach Kerala

Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of Kerala destinations

Read on and find out how to reach Kerala, one of the most visited and popular tourist destinations of the country among honeymooners, families, solo travelers and adventure enthusiasts alike. Everybody is sure to find something or the other of interest in this paradise of Southern India. Frequented by people from all over the world, the state is well connected to most metro cities as well as destinations within the state itself. One can tour Kerala via roads, train, and flights. Though flights are the quickest and most convenient way to get to Kerala, one can still opt for the well-maintained road and train routes if they wish to enjoy picturesque views.

If you're wondering how to go to Kerala from Delhi by flight, the Cochin International Airport (COK) in Kochi is the primary gateway to the state. Reaching Kerala by train is also convenient. For those wondering how to go Kerala by train should know that all major destinations in Kerala are served by broad-gauge trains.

By Air

Kerala is the second state in India to have four international airports, namely Trivandrum International Airport, Cochin International Airport, Calicut International Airport and Kannur International Airport (which is yet to become operational). Kollam Airport is a domestic airport in Kerala that offers connectivity among major cities of the state itself. One can easily find themselves an economical flight to Kerala via any of the major airlines, which is why a majority of travelers opt for flights.

Travelers in the southern part of Kerala find it easy to access Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, whereas travelers in the central part of Kerala use the Kochi International Airport. In the northern side of the state, travelers access the Calicut International Airport.

By Train

Kerala has more than 200 railway stations, connecting various major cities as well as small towns of the state. Direct trains to various destinations in Kerala can be availed from major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, and Kolkata, among others. Superfast and express trains such as Rajdhani and Duronto connect the larger junctions, whereas mail and passenger trains are also easily available. Kerala's railway network runs from Kasargod, a northwestern point of the state, to the southwestern Thiruvananthapuram.

By Road

Kerala is connected to most nearby states via well-maintained roads. Private taxis and buses are easily available in all major and minor parts of the state. Travelers from nearby destinations can also opt to drive their own vehicle to Kerala. Luxury overnight buses, some with built-in bathrooms, are available from destinations such as Alleppey, Kannur, Ernakulam, Kottayam, Thrissur, Kozhikode, Palakkad, Wayanad and Thiruvananthapuram for various other cities across the state.

If you're in for a road trip to Kerala, you're sure to find abundant heart-warming vistas on your way. The roads are bordered by tea and banana plantations, small lakes and lush vegetation. You could even come across various waterfalls. The picturesque villages lining the roads offer a remarkable insight into the local way of life. And the best part about a road trip to Kerala is that you can stop for an impromptu photo session with the lush greenery in the backdrop.

    Mirza Fadiano

    Kanpur

    Mirza's 5 days trip to Kerala

    It was my first visit to kerela and after research I chose to go with 7C Destination. The whole trip went smooth and the driver was very kind. He very well took care of our requirements and took us to all the points and gave us enough time to enjoy and rejuvenate at different points. My agent Ranjit
    h kept in touch all the times right from planning my itinerary to accomodating my adhoc requests and was very prompt at replying. Me and my wife are very happy with our trip to Kerela. It was a wholesome experience in the God's own country. Allepey house boat was a much delightful experience and unique in its own way. I will remember this experience for the rest of my life. It's a must do for all visiting kerela

    Mcgregornick

    Bangalore

    Mcgregornick's 4 days trip to Kerala

    Our 4 day tour of Kerala was pretty good. The tour is very prepackaged with the driver taking you to the sites he thinks you’ll want to see (the same ones everyone else is sent to see) so it doesn’t suit individuals looking to get off the beaten track. For example, we stopped at the same waterfalls
    as everyone else, went to the same tea museum and national park as everyone else and were scheduled to go to the same dam as everyone else (we opted out). There is no asking you what you want to do or getting to know your preferences; you are treated as just another uneducated tourist to fleece. Our driver was courteous but initially used his phone a lot while driving (videos, talking and texting) but stopped after I asked him to. Our private Alleppey houseboat was clean and beautiful but the cruising part itself was disappointing. We were only underway for a total of 3 hours out of our 20+ hours on board, meaning we were docked for 15 hours, tied up to shore. You get dropped off at the boat, cruise for 30 minutes to a small shop downriver, get the hard sell on some prawns (2000 rupees a kilo), cruise for 30 more minutes, tie up at shore, eat lunch (very tasty), crew naps, after 1.5 hours stopped, you start to cruise onto the main body of the lake, cruise for 2 hours in what is ultimately a loop and return to the exact place you boarded the boat. You tie up and sit there until 9 am the next morning, despite our itinerary clearly saying we were to cruise from 8-9 am. The boat is cool but, again, you feel like you’re getting cheated out of the 5 hours of cruising you are promised. Also, when you see 50 other boats right next to you doing the exact same thing, it takes away from the experience. Being docked on shore for the vast majority of the trip, you wonder what’s the point of getting a houseboat? Hotels in the area are much cheaper and with a day cruise, you would get to see the same things we saw. The company rep did not often respond to my messages during the trip, instead choosing to ignore rather than help solve issues. Overall, Travel unbounded isn’t bad but they aren’t great either; you leave with a lackluster vacation experience.

    Good Experience. The only problem was the cab given. It was a below average vehicle that was provided with many things not working.

    Prasanth Sikakollu

    Bangalore

    Prasanth's 4 days trip to Kerala

    The entire trip is smooth and the driver is friendly with us. The hotel at Munnar is very good at nice locality and ambience. The hotel at Thekkady is the worst one, did not offer complimentary breakfast and dinner, and the facilities are not good. It is more like a lodge and does not deserve to be
    a 3-star hotel. The houseboat at Alleppey is the best of all the experiences we had. Houseboat at Alleppey and the morning jeep safari at Munnar are the best memories of the trip.

    - This was a great travel experience. Munnar-Thekkady-Alleppey package was worth every penny. No hitches anywhere. Everything was pre-organized perfectly by Rahul ji from the Explore world team. Accomodation, pvt car with excellent driver, sightseeing.... everything was the best that we could have
    asked for. Especially the boathouse package with home cooked fresh food was outstanding. The most economical and worthy package created by Rahul ji. Thanks a lot. Will definitely reach out you in future also. Great job...best wishes - This was a great travel experience. Munnar-Thekkady-Alleppey package was worth every penny. No hitches anywhere.
