How to Reach Kerala from Mumbai for Your Tour Package

Kerala is roughly 1,000 km south of Mumbai, so most travellers booking a Kerala tour package from Mumbai choose to fly. Whether you pick a Kerala package tour from Mumbai for a family holiday, a honeymoon or a short break with friends, we plan your Mumbai to Kerala tour package around the travel mode that suits your dates and budget.

By Air - Best for Kerala Tour Packages from Mumbai

Direct flights run from Mumbai to Kochi (Cochin International Airport) and take about 2 hours. Air India, IndiGo, Akasa Air and Air India Express operate this route, with several departures every day from both Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and Navi Mumbai International Airport. Kochi is the ideal arrival point for a Mumbai to Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey tour package. For a Kerala backwater tour package from Mumbai that ends at the beaches of Kovalam, you can fly into Thiruvananthapuram instead.

By Train - A Scenic Way to Start Your Kerala Holiday

The Netravati Express (16345) runs daily from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (Mumbai) to Thiruvananthapuram via the Konkan Railway. The journey takes around 31 hours and passes through the Konkan coast and the Western Ghats. Other trains from Mumbai also serve Ernakulam and Kochuveli. This is a good option if you want a budget-friendly Kerala holiday package from Mumbai and have a few extra days. Book early, as these trains fill up quickly in peak season.

Which Option Should You Choose?

If you have limited days, fly to Kochi and start your trip in Munnar, so you spend your time exploring rather than travelling. If you'd like to see the coastline on the way, take the train one way and fly back. Your total Kerala tour cost from Mumbai depends on the mode of travel, hotel category, trip length and season. Share your dates and group size, and we'll suggest the best Kerala tour packages from Mumbai, including airport or station pickup and local transfers.
