Curated Keralam/Plan a trip

Build your Kerala trip.

Five quick questions, thirty seconds, three personalised itineraries — costed in three currencies and drawn from a decade of locally walked field notes.

How long are you here for?

Pick the closest. You'll see a primary itinerary plus shorter and longer alternatives if it helps.

§   The Curated Service

Or have us run it for you.

You've seen the itineraries. If you would rather not lift a finger, we will book every homestay, brief a vetted English-speaking driver, arrange the experiences only locals know how to find, and remain on call from the moment you land to the moment you fly out.

  • i
    Walked, not Googled

    Every homestay, restaurant and experience on your trip is one we've personally been to. Nothing on the standard tourist coach circuit. Nothing we wouldn't book ourselves.

  • ii
    Local experiences, not staged ones

    Toddy shops, Theyyam nights, family kitchens, fishing-village breakfasts, secret backwater routes. We open the doors that don't have signs.

  • iii
    Safe, vetted, English-speaking drivers

    No commission scams. No restaurant kickbacks. The same handful of drivers we use for our own families.

  • iv
    Dietary, mobility & medical priorities

    Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, accessibility, late pregnancy, recovery from surgery — tell us once. We carry it through every booking.

  • v
    On call throughout

    A WhatsApp number you can reach 24 / 7 from the moment you land. Missed train, sudden change of mind, recommendation for a quiet beach near where you happen to be — we are there.

  • vi
    Honest, transparent pricing

    A flat planning fee plus the actual in-country costs at the rates published in our Ledger. No hidden mark-ups, no affiliate commissions, no surprises.
