Kerala, familiar to many as ‘God’s Own Country,’ has been hailed by “National Geographic Travel” as one of the world’s 10 paradises and by the “Emirates In-flight Magazine” as one of the millennium’s ten hot locations. It should come as no wonder then that tour packagers both within Kerala and outside of it work to create customized Kerala tour packages to attract foreign investments in the destination. The scenic beauty of Kerala coupled with a variety of ayurvedic and beach resorts situated in various parts of the state are just some reasons which contribute to making it a popular tourist haven.
Kerala is a land endowed with coastal plains, beaches, expansive backwaters, beautiful waterfalls, coconut palms, spice plantations, and lush hill stations and forests. Thus, there are numerous Kerala tour packages for tourists to enjoy and experience these natural endowments, varying in price and features to suit a range of budgets. In addition there are ayurveda packages, packages for honeymooners, packages to explore Kerala wildlife, summer tours, houseboat tours, Kerala cruises, corporate tours, spice tours, and so on. Tourists can take advantage of packages that are inclusive of accommodation (budget to luxury), food (Indian to Continental), and transfers to and from the airport and/or hotel. Tour operators arrange visits to the various sightseeing spots by car or coach. If the tour is one that involves travel across the backwaters, boats including popular houseboats (kettuvallam) can be arranged.
It is quite common for tour packagers to include visits to places of religious and/or historical importance as part of their Kerala tour packages. Kerala Tour packages include tours to Kochi, Munnar, Poovar, Wayanad, and Alleppey and other important and scenic locations in the state. Visits to museums, art galleries, zoos, parks and religious destinations form part of any tour package. |
