8 Days Kerala Tour Package From Ahmedabad 2027 | Rich

The drive from Fort 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 — both are short stops worth making on a family trip. Munnar sits at around 1,600 metres.
For an Ahmedabad group arriving from the flat, dry Gujarat plains, the Western Ghats hill country registers as a complete physical change — the cool air, the plantation rows and the mist in the valley are a Kerala experience that Gujarat's own landscape has no version of. The Old Munnar market is an evening walk. Overnight at Munnar.

A full Munnar day. The morning is Eravikulam National Park — the protected high-altitude grassland where the Nilgiri Tahr is regularly sighted on the open slopes. Entry is by Forest Department regulated vehicle. The afternoon covers Mattupetty Dam approximately 13 kilometres from town and the Kundala tea estate viewpoints along the upper road.
The Munnar landscape — one of the largest contiguous tea plantation zones in India — is a specific visual that Ahmedabad family groups consistently find the most different from anything their own geography offers. The Tea Museum near town is a one-hour introduction to how tea goes from leaf to cup. Overnight at Munnar.

The Munnar to Thekkady drive covers approximately 90 to 105 kilometres through cardamom and spice plantation country, descending from Munnar's elevation. The Periyar Lake boat ride inside the Periyar Tiger Reserve runs in the afternoon — a one to two hour circuit on the 26-square-kilometre reservoir where elephant, deer and bison come to the water edge. Sightings are well documented but never guaranteed.
The Thekkady spice market in the evening carries cardamom, pepper and vanilla from the plantation belt that surrounds the reserve. For an Ahmedabad group, the spice market here is the source end of what arrives in Gujarat wholesale markets — the raw form at its most fragrant. Overnight at Thekkady.

The drive from Thekkady to Alleppey covers approximately 140 kilometres through the Kottayam rubber belt — around three hours. Houseboat check-in at Alleppey is at noon. The kettuvallam moves through the afternoon on the canal and Vembanad Lake network — paddy fields, coconut groves and village canal banks on both sides. For an Ahmedabad family group arriving from a landlocked state, the Alleppey backwater canal is a water landscape with no Gujarat equivalent.
The Sabarmati is a city river. The Alleppey canal is a living agricultural waterway where the crops and the village life are visible from the deck. Lunch and evening tea on board. Houseboat moors for the night. Overnight on the houseboat.

Houseboat checkout is by 9 AM. The drive from Alleppey to Kumarakom covers approximately 16 kilometres — around 30 minutes. Kumarakom sits on the eastern shore of Vembanad Lake — Kerala's largest lake. The shift from the Alleppey houseboat canal to the Kumarakom Lake shore gives the backwater section of this kerala tour package from ahmedabad two distinct characters in sequence.
The Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary on the lake edge has documented over 180 species including migratory visitors from as far as Siberia. The afternoon is the lake shore and the sunset on Vembanad. A shikara ride is available locally from the resort side. Overnight at Kumarakom.

The drive from Kumarakom to Varkala covers approximately 130 kilometres through Kollam — around three hours. Varkala is the only place in south Kerala where laterite cliffs sit directly against the Arabian Sea — a geological monument with the cliff face dropping sheer to the beach below. The Papanasam natural spring at the cliff base has been associated with the Janardhanaswamy Temple above it for approximately 2,000 years.
The cliff path runs along the top of the headland with the sea dropping away on one side and small restaurants and ayurvedic centres on the other. For an Ahmedabad group the cliff beach character is something Gujarat's coast does not offer. Overnight at Varkala.

The final morning covers Trivandrum before the departure flight from Trivandrum to Ahmedabad. The Napier Museum and Kuthiramalika Palace are in the museum complex area approximately 50 kilometres from Varkala — the Kuthiramalika is an early 19th-century Travancore royal palace with Kerala mural paintings and carved wooden interiors.
The Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in the fort area is open to Hindu visitors in traditional dress. After the morning programme the vehicle proceeds to Trivandrum Airport. The Bon Voyagers vehicle drops at Trivandrum Airport. This kerala tour package from ahmedabad ends here.
