Overview
Kerala is not simply a place where Ayurveda is available — it is where the practice has been a functioning medical system for over 3,000 years. The state government classifies Ayurvedic centres under a Green Leaf and Olive Leaf grading system and licensed BAMS doctors run consultations at certified facilities. This kerala ayurveda wellness tour package is built around the three environments where Kerala’s wellness tradition sits most naturally — the cool hills of Munnar, the quiet backwater of Kumarakom on Vembanad Lake and the coastal setting of Kovalam where Ayurvedic centres have operated for decades alongside the beach. Seven days moves through all three.
Bon Voyagers manages the complete ground programme for this kerala ayurveda wellness tour package from Kochi Airport arrival. The private AC Innova Crysta covers all road transfers throughout. Six nights accommodation — two at Munnar, one Kumarakom houseboat night on Vembanad Lake, one at Alleppey, two at Kovalam — daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis. Houseboat lunch and evening tea on the Kumarakom night, Eravikulam National Park entry and all sightseeing transfers are included. Ayurvedic treatment sessions themselves are arranged locally at certified centres and charged separately. The per person cost of this kerala ayurveda wellness tour package is ₹26,900.

This kerala ayurveda wellness tour package begins at Kochi Airport where the Bon Voyagers representative meets the group on arrival. The drive from Kochi to Munnar covers approximately 130 kilometres through the Ernakulam plains before climbing into the Idukki hills. The Cheeyappara and Valara waterfalls appear roadside as the vehicle gains altitude.
Munnar sits at around 1,600 metres — the cooler, cleaner air at this elevation is itself a shift in physical state that most travellers from Indian metros notice within the first hour of arriving. Ayurveda practitioners in Kerala traditionally associate hill air with the early phase of a wellness reset. Dinner at the hotel. Overnight at Munnar.
A full Munnar day built around gentle movement in clean air. The morning is Eravikulam National Park — the protected high-altitude grassland above Munnar where the Nilgiri Tahr is regularly sighted. Entry is by Forest Department regulated vehicle. The afternoon is a tea estate walk — Munnar's plantation landscape is one of the largest contiguous tea-growing zones in India and the walk through the rows at midday, when the air carries the specific green smell of worked tea leaves, is a sensory experience that sits differently from a viewpoint drive.
The evening is free — the hotel property at Munnar, rest and preparation for the travel day ahead. Overnight at Munnar.
The drive from Munnar to Kumarakom covers approximately 115 kilometres through the Kottayam rubber and spice belt, taking around three hours. Kumarakom sits on the eastern shore of Vembanad Lake — Kerala's largest lake. Houseboat check-in is typically at noon. The Kumarakom houseboat environment is the quietest setting in this kerala ayurveda wellness tour package — open water, still air and the sound of the lake rather than traffic or city noise.
The vessel moves through the afternoon across the lake and into the canal network. Lunch and evening tea are served on board. The Vembanad sunset from the open deck is the specific Kumarakom experience. Overnight on the houseboat.
Houseboat checkout is by 9 AM. The short drive from Kumarakom to Alleppey covers approximately 16 kilometres. Alleppey adds the canal network character to the backwater section of this kerala ayurveda wellness tour package — narrower waterways, village life on the banks and the specific intimacy of the inner canal. The afternoon is a country canoe or shikara ride through the inner canal network.
The slower the pace of movement, the more the backwater registers as a restorative environment — this is what the Alleppey afternoon in this package is designed around. No fixed programme, no scheduled activity. The canal, the light and the pace of the water are the day. Overnight at Alleppey.
The drive from Alleppey to Kovalam covers approximately 155 kilometres through Kollam district and the south Kerala coast — around three to four hours. Kovalam is the most established Ayurvedic hub in Kerala. The concentration of certified Ayurvedic centres along and behind the Lighthouse Beach promenade — operating under Kerala government classification — is higher here than anywhere else on the state's coast.
The centres range from day-visit clinics to residential retreat facilities. Travellers on this kerala ayurveda wellness tour package who want Ayurvedic sessions in Kovalam should pre-book with a certified centre before the travel date. The Bon team provides recommendations at booking. Overnight at Kovalam.
A full Kovalam day structured around the Ayurvedic session. Standard introductory treatments at certified centres include Abhyanga — a full-body herbal oil massage performed by two therapists simultaneously — and Shirodhara, where warm medicated oil is poured in a steady stream onto the forehead for a period of 30 to 45 minutes. A certified Ayurvedic doctor at a registered centre conducts the initial consultation and prescribes the treatment based on the individual's constitution and current condition.
Treatment charges are paid directly at the centre and are not included in this kerala ayurveda wellness tour package cost. The beach evening and the Lighthouse headland sunset close the day. Overnight at Kovalam.
The final morning covers Trivandrum before the departure flight. The Napier Museum and Kuthiramalika Palace are both in the museum complex area approximately 16 kilometres from Kovalam — the Kuthiramalika is an early 19th-century Travancore royal palace with carved wooden interiors and Kerala mural paintings.
The Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in the fort area is open to Hindu visitors in traditional dress. After the morning the vehicle proceeds to Trivandrum Airport. The Bon Voyagers vehicle drops at Trivandrum Airport. The kerala ayurveda wellness tour package ends here.

Best Time to Visit
Monsoon from June to September is traditionally considered Kerala's peak Ayurveda treatment season, as practitioners believe humid air increases medicated oil absorption. For the sightseeing portions of this Munnar-Kumarakom-Alleppey-Kovalam circuit, October to March is more comfortable — the Munnar hill section is clearest from October to February and Kovalam beach is best from November to March. Travellers prioritising treatment over sightseeing may prefer the monsoon window for lower accommodation rates.
