Is this Thekkady–Alleppey–Munnar tour right for you?
Good for broad Kerala coverage
This is a leisure-oriented, cost-effective conducted tour that can suit families, reasonably fit seniors, solo travellers and couples who want Thekkady, the backwaters and Munnar in one organised circuit without managing local logistics themselves.
Fixed itinerary, not a private holiday
The programme follows the scheduled itinerary as a group, without detours. Travellers with more time, a larger budget or a strong preference for privacy and flexibility may prefer a customised Kerala tour; a comparable private arrangement can cost substantially more.
Houseboat rooming
Accommodation is arranged according to the booked family/occupancy combination, with a separate bedroom and attached bathroom for the allotted room; solo travellers are allotted their own room. The exact houseboat configuration and AC operating pattern can vary and should be reconfirmed before travel.
Periyar expectations
Periyar is a wildlife destination, but the package does not include sightseeing/boating charges unless specifically stated. Current boating arrangements should be reconfirmed before departure, and wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed.
What to know before you choose this tour
Houseboat rooming follows your booked occupancy
Accommodation is arranged according to the booked family/occupancy combination, with a separate bedroom and attached bathroom for the allotted room. Exact houseboat configuration and AC operation should be reconfirmed before travel.
Meals and sightseeing charges are extra
Meals are not included in KSTDC conducted-tour fares, including during the houseboat stay. Attraction, boating and other sightseeing charges are payable separately as applicable.
Periyar is a wildlife visit, not a sighting guarantee

Choose conducted or private based on flexibility and budget
This organised circuit is a cost-effective way to cover Thekkady, Alleppey and Munnar. Travellers wanting a slower pace, substantial detours or a highly personalised Kerala holiday should consider a private customised tour.
