Kerala · Departing from the UK

Kerala Holidays, Curated From London.

Kerala is one of India's most rewarding destinations — houseboat cruises through palm-lined backwaters, tea gardens in Munnar, wildlife in Thekkady, colonial heritage in Fort Kochi and some of the finest Ayurveda centres in the world. As London-based Kerala specialists, we design every itinerary personally around your dates, pace and preferences.

Whether you are travelling as a couple, a family or a small group of friends from the UK, we handle everything: return flights from London, private transfers, hand-picked hotels and resorts, English-speaking local guides and a single point of contact throughout your journey.

Frequently Asked

Questions from UK travellers

What is the best time to travel to Kerala from the UK?

October to March is the classic dry-season window with warm days and cool evenings. April and May are hot but ideal for Ayurveda retreats. The monsoon (June to September) brings dramatic landscapes and is highly recommended for authentic Ayurveda treatment.

How long should a Kerala holiday from the UK be?

We usually recommend 10 to 14 nights on the ground to combine backwaters, hills and heritage without rushing. Shorter 7-night escapes focused on backwaters and wellness also work beautifully.

Do I need a visa for India?

Yes. UK passport holders need an e-Visa or a regular tourist visa. We guide you through the process and share up-to-date requirements when you book.
