You don’t just go to Kerala. You sort of drift into it.
One moment you’re stepping off the plane, and the next you’re breathing in air that smells like spice and sea. The noise fades fast. Even the light seems slower here, softer.

If you’ve just wrapped up a wedding, Kerala feels like a sigh…. long, deep, needed. Kerala honeymoon tours aren’t about rushing anywhere. They’re about the space between moments, the backwaters that move like liquid glass, the hills that hum in tea-scented air, and beaches that look half-asleep by evening.

At Travel Junky, we like that kind of travel. The kind that feels a bit unscripted.

What the Days Look Like

• A houseboat in Alleppey, where time doesn’t quite behave
  
  

• Tea gardens that roll out forever in Munnar
  
  

• Afternoons spent watching rain hang in the air
  
  

• Hotels tucked in corners where crickets outnumber people
  
  

Alleppey: The Water Has Its Own Mood

The first thing you notice is the stillness. Then, the quiet sound of water touching wood.
A fisherman waves from a canoe. A child laughs somewhere on the bank. There’s curry frying in coconut oil; you smell it before you see smoke.

The backwaters aren’t trying to impress. They’re just there, stretching out endlessly, mirroring clouds, carrying whispers of life along narrow canals. When the sun sets, the whole world turns amber and slow. You sit, watch, maybe say nothing at all.

Munnar: Tea, Mist, Silence

Morning here tastes like tea and fog. The hills fold and unfold like stories half-told. You walk a little, breathe a lot. A tea worker waves, smiles. The road winds into nowhere in particular, and you follow it because there’s no hurry.

At the dam, the water glints. At the lake, it feels like someone turned down the world’s volume. You stop often, not for photos, just to listen.

Thekkady: Wild Air, Still Heart

Thekkady’s beauty sneaks up on you. The forest isn’t loud; it rustles, whispers, breathes. In Periyar Sanctuary, you wait. Sometimes you see elephants, sometimes just their shape between trees.

The boat ride here moves like a thought, slow, uncertain. The guide says little. The air smells of wet bark and pepper vines. At night, a shawl helps, and silence feels enough.

Kovalam & Varkala: The Sea Does the Talking

Kovalam feels old-fashioned, in a good way. Light dances off the water; the lighthouse blinks like an afterthought. Couples walk, unhurried. Someone’s selling coconuts, someone’s playing an old film song nearby.

Varkala is a little wilder. Cafés on cliffs, waves against red rock, travellers talking like they’ve known each other forever. You find a spot, order coffee, and end up staying longer than planned.

Poovar sits quietly at the edge of it all, part sea, part backwater, part dream.

Our Packages for the Romantic

Kerala Trip Couple Package: 5-Day Cochin to Alleppey Tour

Cochin hums. It’s got spice markets, bright boats, and air that feels alive. Then Munnar, which is calm, green, a hundred shades of soft. Thekkady with the smell of rain-soaked soil.
Alleppey is just water and the sky arguing over who’s prettier.

Five days. Not enough, but maybe just right.

Romantic Kerala Honeymoon: 7 Days of Beaches, Backwaters, and Nature

A week lets you breathe differently. Cochin, Munnar, Thekkady, Varkala, Kovalam. Each has a rhythm of its own. Some mornings you’ll chase mist; other evenings you’ll just sit by the sea.

By the end, words start to feel unnecessary. You look, you feel, you let the place do the talking.

Why Travel Junky

We like details in our domestic packages that maps forget.  The tea shop where the owner remembers your order. The narrow lane that suddenly opens into a view you can’t quite describe.

Our Kerala honeymoon packages aren’t for tourists who count stops. They’re for people who like getting a little lost together.
