Kerala Express: common questions

Can we do this trip in the monsoon?

Yes. Munnar is misty and very green from June to September and houseboats run all year. Some viewpoints may be cloudy, so we keep the plan flexible.

Can the Kerala Express itinerary be customised?

Yes. You can add or remove nights, change the order, upgrade hotels or add places. Send us your dates and we'll rework the plan and price.

How do I book this package?

Send us your dates on WhatsApp (+91 96569 62225) or the enquiry form. We reply with hotel options and a fixed price, and book once you confirm with an advance payment.
