What is the best time to visit Kerala?
The best time to visit is during the winter months, from September to March. The weather is pleasant, dry, and not too hot. This is perfect for sightseeing and houseboat trips. If you are interested in Ayurveda treatments, the monsoon season (June to August) is also a good choice because the cool weather helps the body absorb herbal oils better.
Is Kerala a safe destination for international travelers?
Yes, Kerala is one of the safest states in India for tourists. The locals are educated, friendly, and welcoming. We ensure your safety by providing verified chauffeurs and secure, premium hotels. When you book your holidays to Kerala, your comfort and safety are our top priorities throughout the journey.
Do I need a visa to travel to India?
Yes, most international travelers, including citizens from the UK, need a visa. India offers an electronic visa (e-Visa) facility for many countries, which makes the process easy and fast online. We recommend applying for your visa a few weeks before your Kerala holidays begin.
What type of accommodation do you provide?
We select only the finest properties for our guests. You will stay in luxury resorts, heritage boutique hotels, and premium private houseboats. We inspect these places to ensure they meet high standards of cleanliness, service, and comfort.
Is the food spicy, and is it safe to eat?
Kerala cuisine uses many spices, but it does not have to be hot. Since we plan private trips, we can ask the chefs to adjust the spice level to your taste. We only choose top-rated restaurants and hotels where food hygiene is excellent, ensuring you enjoy safe and delicious meals during your holidays to Kerala India.
How will we travel around Kerala?
You will travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. We provide a professional, English-speaking chauffeur who knows the roads well. This ensures you travel in total comfort and privacy, without the stress of navigating public transport or driving yourself.
What is the dress code in Kerala?
Kerala is a traditional state, so it is best to dress modestly. Cotton clothes are best for the tropical climate. When visiting temples or religious sites, you must cover your shoulders and knees. Inside your resort or on your private houseboat, you can wear whatever you find comfortable.
Are the houseboats safe and clean?
Absolutely. We only book premium, private houseboats that follow strict safety and hygiene protocols. Unlike the crowded boats you might see online, our boats have air-conditioned bedrooms, clean modern bathrooms, and a dedicated staff to serve you.
Can I drink alcohol in Kerala?
Kerala has strict rules regarding alcohol, but it is available. Most 5-star hotels and luxury resorts have a license to serve liquor to guests. However, alcohol is not sold in supermarkets. We choose resorts that ensure you can enjoy your favorite drink in the comfort of your hotel.
Do people in Kerala speak English?
Yes, English is widely spoken and understood in Kerala. It is one of the most literate states in India. Hotel staff, your chauffeur, and guides will speak good English, making communication easy during your holidays to Kerala.
Can I customize my itinerary?
Yes, customization is our specialty. We do not believe in “one size fits all.” Whether you want to spend more time at the beach, visit specific temples, or focus on wellness, we will tailor the trip exactly to your needs.
What currency should I use?
The currency used is the Indian Rupee (INR). You can exchange money at the airport or use ATMs in the city. Major credit cards are accepted at all the hotels and large restaurants we include in your itinerary.
Is Ayurveda safe for everyone?
Ayurveda is a natural system of medicine and is generally very safe. However, it is important to visit a certified center. We only connect you with authorized wellness retreats with qualified doctors. They will check your health history before starting any treatment to ensure it is right for you.
What happens if I have a medical emergency?
Kerala has excellent healthcare facilities, including large private hospitals with modern equipment. In the rare event of a medical issue, our team on the ground and your chauffeur will ensure you get immediate access to the best medical care available.
