A Sliver of dense greenery sandwiched between the Arabian Sea and the forested Western Ghat Mountains, the state of Kerala stretches for 550km along India’s southwest coast, and is just 120 km wide at its broadest point. Its lush tropical landscape, fed by two annual monsoons, has intoxicated tourist for a Romantic honeymoon package in Kerala for a long time. Honeymoon couples weary of India’s daunting metropolises will find Kerala’s cities smaller and more relaxed and perfect for a romantic honeymoon tour. The most popular is undoubtedly the great port of Kochi (Cochin), where the state’s long history of peaceful foreign contact is evocatively evident in then atmospheric old quarters of Mattanchery and fort Cochin, hubs of a still-thriving tea and spice trade. In Kerala’s far south, the capital, Thiruvananthapuram is located.

Thiruvananthapuram, commonly known as Trivandrum is set on seven low hills, 87 km from the southern tip of India. Despite its administrative importance it is a decidedly easy going place with a mix of narrow backstreets and traditional red-tiled gabled houses and palm trees and parks breaking up the bustle of its modern concrete centre. Trivandrum is gateway to the nearby palm fringed beaches of Kovalam which offers honeymooners varied opportunities to explore Kerala’s rich cultural and artistic life. This coastal village is situated just 15km south of Trivandrum and Kerala’s most developed beach resort. It is far away from the maddening crowd of cities.

On your romantic honeymoon packages in kerala, one of the nicest aspects of exploring Kerala is the houseboat cruise, around historic Kollam and Alleppey.

Alleppey has now become the hub of the Kerala’s pre-eminent houseboat cruising, with an estimated four hundred kettu vallam moored on the fringes of nearby Vembanad and Punnamada lakes. Alappuzha’s really big day, however is the second Saturday of August, in the middle of the monsoon, when it serves as the venue for one of Kerala’s major spectacles- the Nehru Trophy snake boat race. This event first held in 1952, is based on the traditional Keralian enthusiasm for racing magnificently decorated longboats, with raised rears designed to resemble the hood of a cobra.
