How do I plan a Kerala trip from Delhi?
From Delhi, fly non-stop to Kochi (COK) in about 3 hours 15 minutes and travel south by private cab through Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey. Because each flight takes up half a day, plan 6 to 8 days and return from Trivandrum (TRV) after Kovalam. October to March brings the most settled weather.

Are there direct flights from Delhi to Kerala?
Yes. Delhi has non-stop flights to both Kochi and Trivandrum, each a little over 3 hours. Tickets are booked separately from our packages; we advise on which timings suit the route.
| Route | Typical flight time | Non-stop airlines | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi → Kochi (COK) | About 3 hours 15 minutes | Air India, IndiGo, Air India Express | Start here for Munnar and the backwaters |
| Delhi → Trivandrum (TRV) | About 3 hours 20 minutes | Air India, IndiGo | Use for the flight home after Kovalam |
In late December and January, morning fog in Delhi often delays departures, so on winter trips we plan nothing for the first day beyond the drive to Munnar. Check current schedules before you book.
Which airport works best for a Kerala trip from Delhi?
Arrive at Kochi and leave from Trivandrum. The classic route runs north to south: Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey, then the coast at Kovalam. Both airports have non-stop Delhi flights, so a one-way route needs no extra connection.
On the Kerala Grand Tour the last transfer, Kovalam to Trivandrum airport, takes about 30 minutes.
How many days should you plan for Kerala from Delhi?
Plan 6 to 8 days. With airport time added to the flight, the first and last days are mostly travel, so a week gives five full days on the ground. An eighth day on the Kerala Premium Escape adds the cliffs at Varkala.
With only five days, Romantic Kerala still works if you fly in early and out late.
Can you travel from Delhi to Kerala by train?
You can, but it takes roughly two days each way; even the fastest trains need well over a day and a half. Flying gives you about three more days in Kerala on a week's leave.

When is the best time to visit Kerala from Delhi?
October to March is the comfortable window; Munnar is also a cool escape from Delhi's heat in April and May.
| When | Weather | Our verdict |
|---|---|---|
| October – November | Rain easing, hills at their greenest | Good for the Dussehra and Diwali breaks, when Delhi's air is at its worst. |
| December – February | Dry and mild; cool nights in Munnar | Peak season and wedding-season honeymoons. December–January fills about 6 weeks ahead. |
| March – May | Hot on the coast, pleasant in the hills | Suits summer holidays weighted towards Munnar and Thekkady. |
| June – September | Monsoon | Quiet and very green, for travellers happy with rain. |

Delhi: Your Questions, Answered
How long is the flight from Delhi to Kochi?
A non-stop flight from Delhi to Kochi typically takes between 3 hours 10 minutes and 3 hours 30 minutes. With the drive of about 4 hours to Munnar, the first day is a travel day.
Is 5 days enough for Kerala from Delhi?
Yes, for Munnar, Thekkady and an Alleppey houseboat night on the Romantic Kerala route, from ₹29,999 per couple. It is a brisk trip from Delhi, though, because two of the five days include a long flight.
What does the 7-day Kerala Grand Tour include?
Six nights: two in Munnar, one in Thekkady, one on an Alleppey houseboat with all meals and two in Kovalam, with a private cab, the same driver and daily breakfast. It starts from ₹39,999 per couple; flights are extra.
What time should we book the flight home to Delhi?
From Kovalam, Trivandrum airport is about 30 minutes away, so a late-morning flight works. Routes ending in Alleppey leave the houseboat at 9 am and need roughly 2 to 2.5 hours to reach Kochi airport, so depart mid-afternoon or later.
Is Kerala a good honeymoon destination from Delhi in winter?
Yes. December to February is dry and mild in Kerala, with cool evenings in Munnar, and it matches the north Indian wedding season. December and January fill about 6 weeks ahead, so fix your dates early.
