Kerala Tour Packages from Bangalore

Kerala tour packages from Bangalore come in all shapes and sizes. You could squeeze everything into a quick 3–4 day trip, or stretch it out to a relaxed 7–8 day holiday covering Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey and Kochi. And getting there is hardly a problem. Bengaluru has regular nonstop flights into Kerala (Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram are the obvious ones), plus Wayanad is right there by road if you'd rather drive. With Thomas Cook, you can bundle hotels, transfers, sightseeing, meals, and even a houseboat stay if your package includes it. Flights can also be added on select itineraries.

Honestly, planning a Kerala holiday from Bangalore is one of the easier decisions you'll make. The state is close enough for a long-weekend escape, but there's enough happening to keep you busy for a full week. Thomas Cook's Kerala tour packages from Bangalore cover the usual popular routes with decent stays and sightseeing thrown in, and if nothing fits perfectly, their Kerala packages from Bangalore can be tweaked around where you want to go, what kind of hotels you like, and how you prefer to travel. Kids in tow? Planning a honeymoon? Going with friends? You can fly, drive, or take the train. That's really up to you.

Kerala Tour Packages from Bangalore

The best thing about leaving from Bangalore is simply how much choice you get. Want something quick? Wayanad or Munnar works. Got six days? You can do the whole Kochi–Munnar–Thekkady–Alleppey circuit comfortably.

Thomas Cook has Kerala tourism packages from Bangalore spread across budget, standard, and luxury. Prices on the live page sit roughly between ₹13,400 and ₹81,600 per adult, depending on which itinerary you pick and what category you go for. You'll find the popular 5-night/6-day options, the longer 7-night/8-day ones, and honeymoon itineraries too. Keep in mind that the prices move around with travel dates and how you configure the package, so double-check the final figure before you actually book.

Important to remember: The prices are subject to change according to travel dates, availability, hotel category, inclusions, and other booking conditions. Flights may be optional, depending on the package.

The Bangalore packages are categorised into budget, standard, and luxury. As things stand, budget options start around ₹13,400 per person, standard ones fall somewhere in the ₹30,000–₹50,000 zone, and luxury goes up to about ₹81,600. Treat these as rough reference points, not fixed rates that apply to everyone.

Kerala Package Price from Bangalore

What you'll end up paying for a Bangalore to Kerala tourism package comes down to two things: firstly, how you get there, and secondly, how much of Kerala you actually want to see.

October to February is when everyone goes, because the weather is pleasant and sightseeing doesn't leave you drenched in sweat. That demand does push hotel and package rates up, though. The monsoon stretch from June to September is priced differently, but yes, you're trading savings for heavy rainfall.

Nights matter too, obviously. A three-night and four-day Kerala trip package from Bangalore will cost you a lot less than six or seven. And the hotel category, room type, how much sightseeing is packed in, transfers, meals - all of that shifts the final number.

But for Bangalore travellers, the travel mode is the big one. A package with flights will cost more upfront. On the other hand, if you're going as a group and want to see Wayanad or stop at places along the way, a road holiday can work out beautifully.

So when you're comparing Bangalore to Kerala holiday packages, don't just look at the headline price. Dig in. Are flights in there? Accommodation? Breakfast? Transfers? Sightseeing? The houseboat? Once you know what's actually included, figuring out which package fits your budget becomes a whole lot easier.

How to Reach Kerala from Bangalore?

• By Flight

Flying is easily the fastest way in. Kempegowda International Airport runs frequent nonstop flights into Kerala's main gateways, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram. The current schedules have direct flights to Kannur and Kozhikode. The Bengaluru–Kochi hop takes about an hour, while Bengaluru–Thiruvananthapuram is more like 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.

For a short Kerala trip from Bangalore, flying makes a lot of sense. You spend the trip at your destination instead of burning two days just getting there and back.

• By Road

Plenty of people just drive. And Wayanad is the standout here. At roughly 285 km from Bangalore, it's one of the closest major Kerala destinations by road.

How long it takes depends on where you start, traffic, which route you take, and how often you stop. In decent conditions, Wayanad is a 6–8 hour drive. Kochi is a different story. It is considerably farther, and you're looking at 9–11 hours or more depending on route and traffic.

If the drive itself sounds like fun to you, this is the way to go.

• By Train

Trains run from Bangalore to Kerala destinations like Ernakulam. It's slower than flying, sure, but some travellers just prefer the train. Or maybe you want to skip the driving entirely.

That said, for a short Kerala tour from Bangalore, flying buys you more sightseeing time at the other end.

Best Kerala Itinerary from Bangalore – 5 Nights / 6 Days

First time in Kerala? The 5-night/6-day Kerala holiday packages from Bangalore hit the sweet spot. Enough travel, enough sightseeing, not too much of either.

The route below is the classic one: Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey. You get a bit of everything: heritage, hills, wildlife, backwaters. And you're not racing around trying to cram in ten destinations.

• Day 1: Arrive in Kochi

Your holiday kicks off in Kochi. Kochi is easily one of the most interesting cities in the state, and a natural starting point for the classic circuit.If you land early, make your way to Fort Kochi. Wander the historic streets, check out the famous Chinese Fishing Nets, and drop by a heritage landmark or two. It's a nice, easy introduction to Kerala.Landed late? No problem. Check in, rest up, and do the sightseeing tomorrow morning instead.

• Day 2: Kochi to Munnar

After breakfast, you head for Munnar.The landscape undergoes a slow transformation on the way. You leave Kochi behind, and the Western Ghats start closing in. Waterfalls, green hills, and those winding ghat roads. Honestly, the drive is half the experience.Once you reach Munnar, check in and take the evening easy.

• Day 3: Discover Munnar

Give Munnar a full day. It deserves it.Tea plantations, cool air, mountains everywhere you look, and that's Munnar for you. Depending on what's in your package, sightseeing might cover Eravikulam National Park, Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point, tea gardens, and the tea museum.Into photography? Don't rush. Sometimes the best thing to do is just pull over and stand there looking at the view.

• Day 4: Munnar to Thekkady

Breakfast, check out, and you're off to Thekkady.The vibe changes completely here. Forests all around, and this is the Periyar region, which is Kerala's spice country.The plantation visit alone is worth it. Cardamom, pepper, cinnamon - you see them growing right there. And if the timing works out, you can tack on a boat ride, a cultural show, or something else local.

• Day 5: Thekkady to Alleppey

From forest to backwaters.Alleppey, officially Alappuzha, is where the pace drops to a crawl. If your package has an overnight houseboat, settle in and just watch the world go by. Coconut palms, paddy fields, little villages slipping past on either side of the water.Don't think of this day as "sightseeing." It's Kerala at its slowest, and that's the whole point.

• Day 6: Alleppey to Kochi and Departure

Breakfast, check-out, and the drive to Kochi Airport.Leave yourself enough time, especially if your flight back to Bangalore is at a fixed hour. Got an extra day to spare? Add it on. Trying to squeeze another destination into departure day never ends well.

A Quick 3-Night / 4-Day Kerala Break

Can't take a whole week? Fair enough. You can still squeeze in a Kerala trip over 3 nights and 4 days.

A short trip usually means Munnar or Wayanad. Pick one. Trying to do both, plus Kochi, Thekkady, and Alleppey, is how a holiday turns into a marathon.

Something like this:

 Want an even lazier weekend? Just pick one destination and stay put. So, if someone's hunting for a 3-day Kerala trip from Bangalore, the honest answer is: do less. One place, done well, beats five places done badly!

Places to Cover on Your Kerala Trip from Bangalore

Bangalore's location puts several parts of Kerala within easy reach. Wayanad is the closest big one by road, and it's absolutely perfect for a quick hill break. Munnar is the crowd favourite for tea gardens and mountain views. Thekkady gives you wildlife and spice plantations. Alleppey is where you go for backwaters and houseboats. Got extra days? Push further to Kovalam, Varkala or Kanyakumari. For a wider look at what the state offers, our Kerala Tourism guide is a handy starting point.

Best Time to Visit Kerala from Bangalore

October to February is when most people go, and for good reason. The weather cooperates, and sightseeing, hill stations, backwaters, and outdoor stuff are all comfortable. For a month-by-month breakdown, see our guide to the best time to visit Kerala.

June to September is monsoon. Yes, it rains. A lot. But Kerala turns a ridiculous shade of green, and if Ayurveda, wellness retreats, or moody monsoon landscapes sound appealing, this might actually be your season.

March to May gets warm and humid. Munnar and Wayanad still work fine, as they're up in the hills, so the heat is less punishing.

Do check the weather before you leave. Especially during monsoon.

Kerala Package Inclusions & Exclusions

Inclusions vary from package to package. Looking at Thomas Cook's current Bangalore options, flights are optional, but accommodation, transfers, and sightseeing usually come built in. Meals depend on the specific plan.

 Pro tip: Don't assume there's a houseboat in your package. Houseboat stays only show up in some itineraries, mainly the ones covering Alleppey, Kumarakom or Kollam. Read the detailed itinerary before you book. It'll save you a headache later. And if an Alleppey houseboat is high on your wishlist, make sure it is listed in the inclusions.

Kerala Tour Packages from Bangalore for Couples & Families

Kerala bends to fit whatever kind of holiday you're planning.

Honeymooners, this one's for you. The Kerala couple tour packages from Bangalore can get you hillside resorts in Munnar, a private houseboat, special dinners, and a sightseeing schedule that doesn't drag you out of bed at dawn. If you would like something purpose-built for couples, take a look at our Kerala honeymoon packages.

Families do well here too. Bangalore's connectivity to Kerala makes it easy for a longer weekend or a school-break trip. Go for comfortable resorts, private transfers, and fewer hotel changes.

And if the standard packages don't quite match what you had in mind, Thomas Cook lets you modify destinations, duration, activities, and stays.

Choosing Between a Flight Holiday and a Road Trip

Here's the thing about travelling from Bangalore - you actually have to decide how you're getting there. People flying in from Delhi don't get this choice.

Short on time? Fly. Bengaluru's got regular direct flights to Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram, and the flight is over in about an hour to an hour and a half, depending on where you're headed.

Enjoy the drive? Then drive. A road trip means freedom. You can explore Wayanad, stop wherever you like, and it makes even more sense if you're a group splitting costs. Spend a few days in Wayanad, then head deeper into Kerala at your own pace.

First visit, only four or five days? Fly and use local transfers. Way less hassle.

Long weekend, Wayanad focus, good company? Take the car.

How to Book Your Kerala Package with Thomas Cook?

Booking with Thomas Cook isn't complicated, but here's how it typically plays out.

1. First, browse. Hop onto the Kerala packages page for Bangalore and start filtering by duration, budget, travel style, and whether you want flights included. You'll trim the list down fast.

2. Then read the fine print on the ones you like. Hotel category, where you're staying, which meals are covered, how transfers work, what sightseeing is included. This is where most people either save themselves from a bad trip or walk straight into one.

3. If the standard itinerary doesn't fit, ask. Thomas Cook's Bangalore page lets you customise days, destinations, activities and accommodation. Flights can be added to eligible packages too. A customised quote doesn't cost anything, so ask.

4. Once you've settled on the itinerary and the price works, book it. Follow the payment process they have in place, and your travel documents and final itinerary will arrive as per the booking terms.

The real payoff of a package holiday? Everything on the ground is sorted before you land. That matters a lot when you're hopping between places like Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey. Someone else is worrying about the logistics while you just travel.
