Important notes for Kerala Honeymoon Package

• Weather in Kerala varies by region — while Munnar is cooler due to its elevation, Alleppey and Kochi are relatively warm and humid. Pack lightweight cotton clothes for lowland areas and a light jacket or sweater for evenings in hill stations.
• Carry valid government ID proof for all travellers as it is mandatory during hotel check-ins, airport security checks, and certain sightseeing spots.
• All hotel check-in and check-out times are standard (12 noon) unless otherwise specified. Early check-ins and late check-outs may be subject to availability and additional charges.
• Houseboat stays in Alleppey follow a strict schedule — they generally cruise from 12:30 PM to 5:30 PM and remain anchored from dusk to dawn due to local safety regulations.
• Houseboats provide all meals on-board, but the cuisine is usually local and mildly spiced. Please inform beforehand if you have dietary restrictions or prefer a continental or Jain menu.
• Power backup in houseboats may be limited, and AC operation usually runs only during night hours (from 9 PM to 6 AM), so travellers should plan accordingly and keep electronic devices charged beforehand.
• Ayurvedic massage and spa services are available at multiple locations like Munnar and Kumarakom. Ensure you choose licensed centres for safe and authentic experiences.
• Mobile network is generally available in most tourist areas, but signals may drop briefly in dense plantations, backwaters, or forested regions of Munnar and Kumarakom.
• Local SIM cards can be purchased at Kochi airport or city markets with ID proof, helpful for longer stays or travellers without international roaming.
• Be cautious while visiting temples and heritage sites — most temples require traditional attire and do not permit photography inside. Footwear must be removed at entrances.
• Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary is best visited in early morning hours, when the birds are most active. Carry binoculars if you enjoy birdwatching or nature photography.
• Avoid carrying plastic bottles or bags, especially in backwaters and eco-sensitive zones. Kerala promotes sustainable tourism, and penalties may apply for littering.
• Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated, especially for drivers, boat staff, porters, and housekeeping. A tip of ₹100–₹200 per day for good service is common.
• Pack essentials like sunscreen, mosquito repellent, basic medication, and a reusable water bottle, these are useful for all the diverse terrains covered in the tour.
• Travel insurance is highly recommended, particularly for couples opting for houseboat cruises, hill station drives, or visiting during monsoon months (June to September).
• Romantic arrangements such as cake cutting, bed decoration, or candlelight dinners must be requested in advance to avoid last-minute non-availability during peak seasons.
• ATMs and currency exchange facilities are widely available in cities like Kochi and Munnar. However, remote locations and houseboats may not accept card payments, so keep some cash handy.
• Shopping for spices, tea, handicrafts, and coir products is best done in Kochi and Munnar, where government emporiums and local markets offer good quality at fair prices.
• Avoid planning this tour during state strikes or hartals (common in Kerala occasionally) as transport and services may be disrupted. Local coordinators usually help reschedule activities if needed.
• Airport transfers are fixed as per flight timings shared in advance. Delays in sharing correct details may affect the schedule, especially on the last day of the tour.

Best Time to Go for Kerala Honeymoon Package

Choosing the right time to visit Kerala is as important as choosing the right person to travel with — especially on a honeymoon. While Kerala is a year-round destination, known for its consistent greenery and misty allure, the ideal time to plan your romantic escape falls between October and March. During these months, the weather is relatively cooler, especially in Munnar and Thekkady, and the humidity in Alleppey and Kochi is more manageable. This makes sightseeing more comfortable and ideal for outdoor experiences such as tea estate walks, birdwatching tours, and houseboat stays.

The winter months bring in a pleasant chill, especially in hill stations like Munnar, where temperatures may drop to 10°C. This is perfect for couples who want to snuggle up amidst foggy tea gardens or share quiet conversations over a warm cup of chai. Kumarakom and Alleppey, on the other hand, remain tranquil and soothing with slow-moving backwaters, ideal for houseboat romance and sun-drenched afternoons on deck.

The monsoon season, from June to September, is lush and mystical, but more suitable for couples who enjoy solitude, fewer crowds, and wish to experience Ayurvedic therapies. However, rain may disrupt travel plans or boat rides, so it is recommended only for those seeking a peaceful, indoor-centred experience.

The summer season (April to May) can get humid in the coastal areas but is often cooler in the hills. If you do visit during this period, plan early morning and late evening sightseeing to beat the heat, and enjoy indoor pampering like spa treatments or romantic room service meals.

Overall, October to March remains the safest and most recommended time to make the most of everything the Kerala honeymoon tour offers, from nature to heritage, from slow romance on boats to cultural shows in Kochi. Whether you’re sipping tea in Munnar or cruising on the Alleppey waters under a starlit sky, the season only adds charm to your experience.
