How to Plan a Budget-Friendly Family Kerala Trip

 



Planning a family kerala trip can be a fun and rewarding experience. People call Kerala "God's Own Country" because it has so many different things to see and do. You can enjoy calm backwaters green tea farms clean beaches, and rich cultural history. Kerala is great for families, and you don't have to spend a lot of money to have a good time there. Here's how Travel Corp India can help you plan a Kerala vacation that's both affordable and memorable.

Step 1: Choose the Best Time for Your Trip

Kerala has three main seasons: peak season (November to February), off-season (March to May), and monsoon season (June to October). To save money on a family trip, think about going during the off-season or monsoon months. During these times, you'll pay less for places to stay and travel. What's more, the rainy season turns the landscapes a vibrant green creating a beautiful setting.

Step 2: Select Affordable Accommodations

Travel Corp India has a bunch of places to stay that are good for families. You can pick from cheap hotels, homes where locals live, or even boats you can sleep on. If you go for a comfy home or share a boat-house, you'll spend less money and get to see what Kerala is like. A lot of these places throw in meals too so you don't have to pay extra for food.

Step 3: Opt for a Customizable Itinerary

One of the best ways to save money is by focusing on destinations that offer a mix of free or low-cost activities. Travel Corp India provides customizable itineraries tailored to your budget. Here’s an example of an affordable itinerary:

  1. Day 1-2: Kochi

    • Explore Fort Kochi, known for its colonial charm, Chinese fishing nets, and vibrant street art.

    • Visit the Mattancherry Palace and St. Francis Church.

    • Spend time at Marine Drive, a beautiful promenade.

  2. Day 3-4: Munnar

    • Visit tea plantations, the Tea Museum, and scenic spots like Echo Point and Top Station.

    • Enjoy a family picnic by Attukal Waterfalls.

  3. Day 5-6: Alleppey

    • Take a budget-friendly houseboat cruise or a shikara ride through the backwaters.

    • Visit Marari Beach for some relaxation.

  4. Day 7: Thekkady

    • Explore Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary and enjoy a jungle walk or boat ride on Periyar Lake.

  5. Day 8: Kovalam

Transportation can be a big expense on a family trip but Travel Corp India has budget friendly options like shared cabs, local buses and trains. When traveling between cities opt for sleeper class train tickets or comfortable but economical buses. For local sightseeing auto rickshaws and rental bikes can be fun and economical.

Step 5: Relish Local Cuisine on a Budget

Kerala’s food is a treat for the taste buds and you don’t have to dine at fancy restaurants to enjoy it. Opt for local eateries that serve authentic Kerala food at reasonable prices. Don’t miss out on appam with stew, Kerala parotta and freshly caught seafood. Travel Corp India can guide you to family friendly dining options that won’t burn a hole in your pocket.

Step 6: Look for Free or Low-Cost Activities
