God's Own Country awaits - emerald backwaters, mist-covered tea hills, and spice-scented forests, just a 2-hour flight from Ahmedabad.
Kerala, aptly titled God's Own Country, is one of India's most extraordinary travel destinations - and it sits just a short 2-hour direct flight from Ahmedabad. For travellers seeking lush landscapes, tranquil backwaters, hill station magic, and authentic cultural experiences, a Kerala tour package from Ahmedabad delivered by Shahi Travels is the ideal way to explore this southern gem without stress or overspending.
The journey typically begins in Kochi (Cochin), Kerala's cosmopolitan gateway. Fort Kochi's colonial architecture, the iconic Chinese fishing nets along the waterfront, the Mattancherry Dutch Palace, and the vibrant Jew Town spice market offer a fascinating introduction to the state's layered history. A short drive inland takes you to the misty heights of Munnar, one of South India's most scenic hill stations. At around 1,600 metres above sea level, Munnar is blanketed in undulating tea plantations stretching as far as the eye can see. The Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr, and the Mattupetty Dam lake are must-visits.
Thekkady, perched on the edge of the Periyar Tiger Reserve, is where wildlife and spice culture converge. A morning boat ride on Periyar Lake offers chances to spot wild elephants, bison, sambar deer, and a wide variety of birds in their natural habitat. The spice plantations of Thekkady - producing cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, and vanilla - are a revelation for the senses, and guided spice garden tours are a highlight for Gujarati food lovers who appreciate Indian flavours at their source.
No Kerala tour package from Ahmedabad would be complete without an overnight stay on a traditional Kettuvallam houseboat in Alleppey (Alappuzha). Drifting silently through the Kerala backwaters - a 900-km network of lagoons, lakes, rivers, and canals - while local life unfolds on the banks is an experience unlike any other in India. Your private houseboat comes with an onboard chef, a comfortable bedroom, and a shaded sundeck from which you can watch rice paddies, toddy palms, and village life glide past.
South Kerala's Kovalam Beach, a crescent-shaped stretch of golden sand backed by palm trees and a lighthouse, offers a relaxed beach finale. Ayurvedic spas and massage centres are plentiful, making Kovalam an ideal place to unwind. Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram), Kerala's capital, is nearby and houses the famous Padmanabhaswamy Temple, one of India's wealthiest and most sacred shrines.
For Gujarati travellers, Kerala is particularly welcoming. Pure vegetarian and Jain food is available at restaurants across all tourist hubs. No passport or visa is needed - this is a domestic India tour. IndiGo, Air India, and Akasa Air operate direct AMD-COK flights making logistics effortless. Shahi Travels, based on Ashram Road, Ahmedabad, has been planning Kerala holidays for Gujarati families for over two decades, offering completely customisable itineraries, fixed-departure group tours, and private family packages.
