Kerala holidays and Kerala Hotels

Karma Kerala is a Kerala tourism service for visitors who want to experience more of Kerala's culture, people, wildlife and history. With a team of travel professionals in Cochin including guides and local writers, there are not many places or customs that we do not know about in Kerala.

Kerala is a must-visit destination with its wealth of ecological wonders, cultural heritage and a delectable cuisine. But Kerala is much more than a site-seeing itinerary - it is also a potentially spiritual adventure. The natives of Kerala are well known for their endearing hospitality and friendly nature. And it is this fact that drives us to encourage you to undertake a journey to Kerala - God's Own Country!

With offices in the UK and Cochin, we are better positioned to understand you and cater to your needs. Enjoy our Kerala Guide and do come back and speak to us and discuss your holiday plans in Kerala!

Tours & Special Packages in Kerala

PDF Print E-mail

We create Kerala tours based on your preferences and can even wrap up a Kerala package holiday. Our Kerala tours are baked bespoke for you although we have a range of tours to titillate you and perhaps give you some guidance on what is possible. We cook our tours to order, so just give us your requirements or musings through out enquiry form and we will get straight back to you with a proposed itinerary that we can work on with you.

We know that most of our visitors look for something with some characteristic flavours and so we do go out of our way to make the tour that fits you as exactly as possible. Since most visitors want to see more of Kerala than a hotel swimming pool, contact us even if you already have your booking and we can work around that happily as well as check with your hotels that all bookings are complete.

Enjoy a cruise at leisure in the Kerala backwaters on our traditional houseboat or 'Kettuvallom', to carry you through the narrow waterways and villages into Vembanad Lake and the magnificent backwaters. We have a fleet of houseboats with family sized Two, Three or Four bedroom houseboats and intimate single bedroom houseboats. They range from standard with or without air conditioning to the luxurious.

Prices include meals and cost of fuel. You will have a captain, oars man and the cook on the boat.

Thomas Cook ends Kerala Packages

PDF Print E-mail

Thomas Cook has stopped sending charters to Kerala , which means that more rooms would be available in prime destinations like Kovalam and Thekkady for smaller groups who visit Kerala on private holidays. During peak tourist season, most of the popular hotels and houseboats would be booked well in advance in bulk by charter trip operators at the expense of private holiday groups.

Karma Kerala has been selling Kerala holidays for small and big groups at easy deals and unbeatable packages for many years now and booking with us would help you to make your dream holiday come true. No other travel agency is doing charter from UK to Kerala this year. So make the most of this opportunity and enjoy a great holiday in Kerala. Now you would not be left wanting for accommodation options of your choice as there would be enough options for everyone.

Please see our 2009 Winter Kerala Package Prices for hotels in Kovalam Beach Area.

You can browse through our Kovalam Beach Hotels and please request rates for any that you dont find. Remember we don't like to be beaten on price - very John Lewis, eh!

 

When to visit for your Kerala Holiday

PDF Print E-mail

Any time is Kerala time, but for most Western visitors, the winter offers the most welcoming climate and it is the driest time. March and April are hot and tropical before the South-west monsoon breaks over Kerala and the rainy season starts, which is the ideal Ayurveda time! So, its Winter for touring holidays and post summer monsoons for rejuvenating your body and spirit.

Do refer to our planning guide for more advice on making your visit
