Kerala, India
Kerala
Backwaters, houseboats, and tea hills — God's Own Country, planned properly.
Kerala is one of the few Indian destinations that genuinely suits every kind of traveller — slow backwater cruises for couples, tea-garden hikes for families, and enough cultural depth (Theyyam performances, spice plantations, Kathakali) to keep repeat visitors coming back. Most Lime Vibe Kerala itineraries combine Alleppey's houseboats with the cooler hills of Munnar and a short Kochi city stretch, but we'll rework the balance based on how many days you have.
What makes Kerala worth it
Houseboat Backwaters
A night or two on a traditional Kettuvallam houseboat in Alleppey or Kumarakom.
Munnar Tea Hills
Rolling tea plantations, cool weather, and the Eravikulam National Park.
Family Friendly
Short transfers and a relaxed pace that works for young kids and grandparents alike.
Honeymoon Favourite
Private houseboat stays are consistently one of our top-booked honeymoon options.

About this trip
October to March is the most comfortable weather-wise. The monsoon season (June-September) has its own appeal — lush greenery and fewer crowds — if you don't mind rain.
Genuinely worth it — even a one-night stay gives you a very different pace than a hotel. We'll help you pick an operator with well-maintained boats.
4-5 days covers Munnar and Alleppey comfortably. Add 1-2 more days if you want to include Kochi properly or add Thekkady/Wayanad.
September to March offers pleasant weather for backwaters and hill stations. Monsoon (June-August) is lush and great for Ayurveda treatments, though outdoor activities are limited.
Yes — houseboat stays in Alleppey and hill station resorts in Munnar are among India's most popular honeymoon choices.
5-6 days covers Munnar, Alleppey backwaters and Kochi comfortably.
