Kerala tour packages under 10,000 start from INR 5,500 per adult for 2 to 4 days. With an extraordinary landscape, the Kerala itineraries by Thrillophilia offer you a unique landscape filled with tropical greenery, water bodies like waterfalls, beaches and backwaters, and mist-covered mountains all in one trip.
The current list covers three distinct routes. The Gavi package includes a forest bungalow, meals and activities such as coracle riding and dam boating. Munnar packages use Kochi as the entry point. Moreover, for Wayanad, package departures are available from Bangalore, Chennai and Madurai.
These prices cover one destination rather than a multi-city Kerala circuit. Wayanad requires more road travel to reach caves, dams, and waterfalls. Munnar centres on tea-estate and national-park sightseeing, while Gavi depends on fixed forest access and guided activities.
Thrillophilia’s 24*7 on-ground services help you with transportation, on-spot route guidance, private transportation, early-morning breakfast and assistance with any practical difficulties one might face. For us, our focus is not just on making a perfect itinerary but also on providing you with a close-to-perfect trip.
With 23+ destination experts, Thrillophilia creates your Kerala tour packages under 10000, which reflect your travelling style. Ranked with a 4.5 rating from over 277 Kerala tour packages, we serve our travellers to their satisfaction.

How to Reach Kerala
While planning a Kerala tour package under 10,000, one can reach Kerala via flight, train or even road. Moreover, the most convenient and time-consuming way to reach Kerala is by flight. Bimal Shah, one of our verified travellers who booked the Romantic Getaway to Munnar package, shared in February 2026 that "The tea museum visit was very informative and we particularly loved the chocolate-making demonstration at the end. The itinerary was well-balanced and gave us enough time to enjoy each destination without feeling rushed. All the transfers were on time, and the vehicles provided were in great condition. The houseboat experience was very romantic, and the food served on board was fresh and very tasty. A very professional and efficient service.”

Best Time to Visit Kerala
These packages have become one of the most in-demand packages with the inclusion of the Thekkady tour package and the other parts of Kerala. These packages also include detailed Munnar Gavi and Alleppey experiences, including a houseboat stay for a cosy stay with your loved ones.
Kerala can be visited throughout the year, with each season offering a different travel experience. Winter, from October to February, brings cooler and drier weather, making it an excellent time to explore Wayanad, Munnar, and Gavi, although hotel rates are generally higher during this peak season. Summer, from March to May, is warmer in the towns but remains relatively cooler in the hill stations, making Munnar and family trips good options; however, Eravikulam National Park may have seasonal closures. Monsoon, from June to September, brings heavy rainfall and fuller waterfalls, making it suitable for short stays and enjoying lush forest landscapes, though trekking routes and waterfalls may have temporary closures. Post-monsoon, from September to October, offers greener landscapes with relatively lighter rainfall and fewer crowds, although travellers should be prepared for occasional short weather-related delays.
Note: October to March gives the most reliable conditions across all three destinations.
For Munnar, confirm the annual Eravikulam National Park closure before booking. In Wayanad, waterfalls and forest trails may close during heavy rain.
Best Places to Visit in Kerala
Here are some of the best places to visit in Kerala:
- Wayanad: Book our Kerala tour packages from Delhi to visit Wayanad, a hill district with exotic flora and fauna and cascading waterfalls. It has Asia’s second-largest dam, Banasura Sagar Dam, where you can enjoy boating and trekking.
- Munnar: Surrounded by waterfalls such as Cheeyappara, Attukal, and Valara, known for their pristine beauty, Munnar is a location you can’t miss while planning your Kerala package from Delhi. Stroll through the aromatic tea gardens, go trout fishing, and enjoy splendid views from Echo Point to enjoy every bit of Munnar during your trip.
- Gavi: Boating is part of the Gavi route, as listed. The viewpoint is commonly visited on the final day while returning from Gavi. Nilackal Forest is a top attraction for guided walks focusing on birds, forest cover and local vegetation.
- Alleppey: Explore the Venice of the East with an extensive network of canals, lagoons and waterways during your Kerala tour package from Delhi. Enjoy the scenery around your houseboat through the blackwater, allowing you to watch the marine life of Alleppey closely.
- Idukki: The Idukki Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to creatures including elephants, bison, wild dogs, and sambar deer, as well as snakes like vipers and cobras, is the most visited tourist destination in Idukki. For stunning views of the Idukki and Cheruthoni dams, do not miss visiting Hill View Park.
Things to Do in Kerala
Here are some of the best things to do in Kerala:
- Walk Up to Edakkal Caves: The approach includes a steep uphill section followed by narrow cave passages. Keep two to three hours and start before 10 AM to avoid group-tour queues. Entry is paid separately. Travellers with knee or mobility concerns should choose Banasura or Pookode instead.
- Take a Wayanad wildlife safari: Tholpetty and Muthanga use fixed safari windows. Morning drives generally offer cooler conditions and better animal movement. The vehicle and entry charges are separate unless stated. A sighting cannot be guaranteed, even during the dry season.
- Visit a Munnar tea estate: The Munnar package covers tea-growing areas such as Sevenmallay. Factory visits explain withering, rolling, drying and grading rather than only offering a photo stop. Confirm whether your selected visit includes factory access, tasting or only estate sightseeing.
- Add Boating at Mattupetty or Banasura: Mattupetty fits into the main Munnar sightseeing road. Banasura boating needs extra time because the dam area and activity counters are separate from central Wayanad. Allow 30 to 60 minutes beyond the normal visit. Boat services may stop during rain, wind or maintenance.
- Follow the Gavi Forest Programme: The Gavi route uses a fixed sequence of guided walks, forest sightseeing, Kochupamba Dam and activities listed in the package. Independent movement inside controlled areas may be restricted. Carry the identification requested by the operator and follow the reporting time shared before arrival.

Ritu Gada, one of our verified travellers who booked the Romantic Escape to Kerala | From Tea Estates to Golden Sands package, shared in March 2026 that “Our honeymoon was made extra special with a private candle-lit dinner organised on the beach in Kovalam. Thrillophilia’s coordination was tight, and we didn’t face any issues with the hotel check-ins or the transport. Thanks to Ajay for the great recommendations on where to shop for authentic silk sarees in Kochi. The logistics were so well-planned that we could just focus on enjoying our time together.
