Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey, Varkala, Trivandrum – 5 Nights / 6 Days 5N6D Kerala Package

Q: What is the best time to visit Kerala?

October to March is the best time — post-monsoon weather is pleasant, all attractions are open, and the backwaters are at their most picturesque. Avoid June to September for hill stations and houseboat trips due to heavy rainfall.

Q: Is this package customisable?

Absolutely. Every Vihar Tours package is built from scratch for your travel dates, group size, and budget. WhatsApp us and we will adjust hotels, add or remove destinations, and tailor the itinerary exactly to your preferences.

Q: Is the houseboat experience suitable for families and seniors?

Yes — Kerala houseboats are spacious and comfortable, with private bedrooms, attached bathrooms, and a dedicated cook. Premium houseboats have wide decks and AC cabins. They are perfectly safe for children and elderly travellers.

Q: How many people can a houseboat accommodate?

Standard 1-bedroom houseboats fit 2 adults. 2-bedroom boats fit up to 4 adults. For larger groups we arrange multiple houseboats or premium 3-bedroom vessels.

Q: What is included in the houseboat stay?

All meals (lunch, dinner, breakfast), a Shikara boat ride, and a dedicated crew including a cook, captain, and helper are included. Beverages are on a paid basis.

Q: How is the road to Munnar / hill stations?

The roads are well-maintained but winding through the ghats. We use experienced local drivers familiar with mountain roads. Journey time estimates include scenic stops. We recommend avoiding travel after dark in the hills.
