Hotels becoming expensive; Kerala emerging as Honeymoon Destination

Tourism industry Hotel Keralain India has seen a decent growth over past 3 quarters. The hotel room prices have been firm and this makes Tourism in India quite expensive for an Indian middle income family.

The prices may be less for foreign tourists and they are flocking at places like Goa, Kerala, Ooty and many other exotic destinations across India.

The prices for travel package for Kerala cost anywhere between Rs 30,000 – 60,000 excluding travel expenses. We inquired with many tourist agencies in Kerala for the prices of various packages.

The package for 5 days and 4 nights in Kerala Backwaters was costing around Rs 25,000 for economy. The price for Deluxe package was Rs 32,000 while the premium holiday package cost was around Rs 55,000.

The package offers food and complimentary drink on the houseboat. Package includes Sightseeing and cruises to Alleppey. Kumarakom is a nice place for nature lovers. Kumarakom bird sanctuary is good place to visit for bird watching.

The best option to reach by Air is a flight to Cochin International Airport. Most of the travel packages will include the transfer from Airport.

There are many other options to choose from for wildlife and nature lovers. Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary an interesting is a place to visit. Neyyar wildlife Sanctuary is a house for Elephants, Lions, Gaurs and Sloth bears.

At Kollam, one can spend good time at Shenduruni Wildlife Sanctuary. Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary is also a nice place to visit.

Kerala has also emerged as a nice destination for honeymooners. As Goa has been quite expensive and there isn’t much to discover for Indian couples in Goa, Kerala has taken a lead for honeymoon travel packages. The cost of package varies with the choice of hotels and the season, but will be still lower than Goa.

Our suggestion will be to check the prices with different agents before making a final decision. The peak season will remain till March and after that the prices will come down quite sharply. The prices for packages will start reducing in first week of February.
