Quick flights to Kochi or a comfortable overnight train straight into backwater country — Kerala is an easy escape from Chennai.
From Chennai, Kerala works two ways: a short flight to Kochi that has you in Munnar's tea hills by evening, or the famous overnight train that rolls straight into Alleppey — the heart of the backwaters — by morning.
Most Chennai travellers plan 4-7 days. That window covers the Munnar - Thekkady - Alleppey triangle comfortably, and a seventh day adds a beach finish at Kovalam or the cliffs of Varkala.
As a Thrissur-based team, we handle the Kerala side completely: private cab from your arrival point, hotels matched to your budget, houseboat category confirmed in writing, and a driver who knows the hill roads.
Non-stop flights from Chennai to Kochi take about 1h 20m, with Trivandrum a good alternate when your route ends at Kovalam or Varkala.
Overnight express trains from Chennai reach Alleppey and Ernakulam in roughly 11-13 hours — a budget-friendly start that lands you right in backwater country.
Fly into Kochi and out of Trivandrum (or reverse) to cover hills, backwaters, and beaches without backtracking.
Pick by the days you have — every route below is customizable.
Fly to Kochi, two nights in Munnar for tea gardens and Eravikulam, one night on an Alleppey houseboat, depart from Kochi. Kerala's greatest hits, no rush.
Slot Thekkady between Munnar and Alleppey for Periyar lake, spice plantations, and an evening Kathakali show — the most balanced Kerala circuit.
Finish at Kovalam or Varkala with two beach nights and depart from Trivandrum. Ideal for honeymoons and families who want downtime at the end.
All packages are customizable — dates, hotels, and route stops can be adjusted to your plan.

Yes — Munnar, Thekkady, and Wayanad stay noticeably cooler than the coast in summer, which is exactly when many Chennai families travel. Monsoon months (June-September) suit Ayurveda and green-season travel.
