Eight days from the Chinese fishing nets of Kochi to Kanyakumari. This guide sets out what Kerala actually offers, what a trip
there costs, when to go, and how we run it — written from the routes we operate
ourselves rather than from a brochure.
Why Kerala is worth your leave
Kerala earns its slogan honestly. In eight days you move from Fort Kochi up into the tea slopes of Munnar, across to the spice plantations of Thekkady, down to the backwaters at Alleppey, and finally along the coast to Kovalam and the southern tip of the country.

Common questions before booking
Are children charged full price?
It varies. On several North Bengal departures children below five travel free, five to eight years are charged fifty per cent, and above eight counts as an adult. The price note on each package page states the rule.
How far ahead should I book?
For the Pujas, December and the Kashmir tulip window, six to eight weeks. Offbeat homestays have very few rooms and fill first.
Is Sanjhbati Tourism registered?
Yes. We have operated since 2015 and are MSME approved by the Government of India. Our founder and proprietor is Sajal Manna.
Planning your dates
Peak windows — the Pujas, December, and the Kashmir tulip season — fill six to
eight weeks ahead, and offbeat homestays have very few rooms between them. If your
dates are fixed, talk to us early. If they are flexible, tell us and we will
suggest the week that gives you the best weather and the best rate.
