India's Most Complete Destination — Hills, Backwaters, Beaches, and Something More
Most travellers who visit Kerala come for one thing and stay for everything else.
They book for the backwaters — those legendary canal networks where houseboats drift through paddy fields and coconut groves — and find themselves unexpectedly moved by Munnar's high-altitude tea estates at dawn, or a spice plantation walk in Thekkady where the air smells of cardamom before you even step out of the car.
Kerala works because it packs extraordinary variety into a single state. The Western Ghats run along its eastern edge, giving you mist-wrapped hill stations and wildlife sanctuaries. The Arabian Sea runs along its west, giving you long stretches of beach from dramatic cliff-top Varkala to the lighthouse at Kovalam. Between them, a labyrinth of backwater canals that have no parallel anywhere in India.
Our packages are built for travellers who want to experience this properly — with a private vehicle, someone who knows which detour is worth it, and the flexibility to slow down where Kerala rewards you for slowing down.

Choose Your Kerala Experience
From a 3-day Varkala beach escape to an 8-day grand tour covering Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey, and Kovalam — every package includes a private vehicle and daily breakfast. Most packages depart from Kochi.
We've been running Kerala tours for years. Here's what that experience means for your trip.
Your vehicle. Your schedule.
Every package comes with a dedicated private vehicle — no shared cabs, no waiting around for co-passengers. If you want to stop at a tea estate viewpoint or spend an extra hour at Periyar Lake, you stop. Simple.
No surprise charges on arrival
What's listed in the package is what you pay. Tolls, parking, driver allowances — all included. Entry fees and guide charges aren't (we list them clearly), so you can budget without guessing.
Local knowledge that actually helps
We know which ghat road into Munnar gives you the best waterfall views. We know what time to board the Alleppey houseboat to catch the best light on the canals. We know which Thekkady spice plantation has a proper guided walk rather than a quick commercial stop. That kind of knowledge doesn't come from a booking portal.
One person handles everything
From the moment you land in Kochi to the moment you leave, you have a single point of contact. No juggling between operators, no miscommunication about who's picking you up or where the houseboat departs from.
We're honest about what's seasonal
Monsoon Kerala is beautiful but some hill roads in Wayanad and the Idukki region get restricted after heavy rain. Periyar boat safaris are subject to availability. We'll tell you this upfront so you can plan around it rather than find out on arrival.

A great choice for a comfortable and memorable Gujarat trip."
Akhilesh Kumar
"We had a good experience overall. The car was very comfortable and the driver was good. Le Lac Sarovar hotel was very nice. The hotel in Netarhat was slightly disappointing; staying at Jharkhand Tourism's Prabhat Vihar would be better due to its location near the sunrise point."
Vasanthi Murugesh
"Amazing experience. The tour was well managed and the staff were cooperative. Hope to plan another trip again."
Jyotirani Bhowmick
"Overall experience was very good. However the driver-cum-guide role could be improved as he did not have the itinerary and asked us about the next destination. A guide should be present or the driver should have better knowledge about the places."
Sandeep
"We had a wonderful experience with Meet N Greet Travels. The trip was beautifully planned and organized by agent Shubham. The resorts were excellent with great ambience and efficient staff. The food quality was excellent and the cab driver was punctual and supportive. However, a lot of time went into travelling by cab which created some stress."

Sanjaya Kumar Pradhan
"Had a comfortable vacation with Meet N Greet. The driver was friendly and guided us well. The team ensured we reached all places on time and did not miss any destinations in the plan.

Plan Your Trip
When Should You Go?
October – December
Post-monsoon Kerala is extraordinary. The hills are lush green from the rains, the waterfalls in Munnar and Wayanad are still full, and the skies have cleared over the backwaters. October and November are among the best months for photography across every circuit.
January – March
Cool, dry, and very pleasant — this is peak season. Backwaters are calm, hill roads are clear, beach weather is perfect, and visibility across Munnar's tea estates is at its best. Book early if you're planning travel during this window.
April – May
The weather warms up but remains manageable in the hills. Waterfalls begin to thin out, but Munnar and Wayanad stay comfortable. A good window to travel before the monsoon arrives and the rest of India heats up.
June – September (Monsoon)
Kerala receives heavy rainfall during these months — the landscape turns impossibly green and the waterfalls are at their most dramatic. This is also the traditional Ayurveda retreat season. However, some hill roads can be affected and houseboat cruise conditions vary. Best for flexible travellers who don't mind rain.
Note: Wayanad and Vagamon hill roads can occasionally be restricted after heavy monsoon rain. If you're planning a hill-circuit package between June and September, let us know and we'll advise based on current conditions.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which airport should I fly into for Kerala?
Kochi (COK) is the most convenient entry point for the central Kerala circuit — Munnar, Thekkady, and Alleppey. Fly into Thiruvananthapuram (TRV) for the southern circuit covering Varkala, Kovalam, and Kanyakumari. For Wayanad, Calicut (CCJ) is the closest airport. All our packages include pickup directly from the airport or railway station.
Is the Alleppey houseboat experience worth it?
Yes — genuinely. A night aboard a traditional kettuvallam (rice boat) drifting through the backwater canals is one of those experiences that stays with you. The houseboat comes with a crew, a cook, and all meals onboard. All meals on the houseboat are included in our packages.
How many days do I need for Kerala?
4 to 5 days is the sweet spot to cover Munnar, Thekkady, and Alleppey without feeling rushed. We offer 3-day packages for a focused beach or hill escape, 4–6 day mid-range circuits, and up to 8 days for the full Kerala experience including beaches and temples.
What's included in the package price?
Hotel accommodation, daily breakfast, all meals on the houseboat (where applicable), a private vehicle for all transfers and sightseeing, and driver allowances and tolls. Entry fees, guide charges, airfare or train tickets, personal expenses, and travel insurance are not included — we list these clearly so there are no surprises.
Is Kerala suitable for families with children?
Yes, Kerala is one of India's most family-friendly destinations. Houseboat stays are safe and comfortable, Eravikulam National Park is great for wildlife spotting, and the beach resorts are well-suited for families. Let us know the age of children when enquiring and we'll plan accordingly.
Is Kerala a good honeymoon destination?
Absolutely. Alleppey's backwaters, Munnar's misty tea estates, and Varkala's cliff beach make Kerala consistently one of India's top honeymoon destinations. Several of our packages are designed specifically for couples with romantic accommodation options.
Do I need any permits to visit Kerala?
No special permits are required for standard tourist destinations. However, visits to the Periyar Tiger Reserve's core area and Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary require entry tickets and guide arrangements, which we'll handle for you. The Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Trivandrum has a traditional dress code — only Hindus are permitted inside.
Can I customise a package?
Absolutely. Reach out with your travel dates, group size, and which parts of Kerala you most want to see — we'll put together an itinerary that fits your time and budget.
