Itinerary
Arrival, Transfer to Kovalam & Beach Sunset Stroll
Arrive at Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) Airport/Station and transfer (approx. 30–45 mins) to your beachfront hotel in Kovalam. Check in and freshen up. Spend the afternoon exploring Lighthouse Beach — stroll the shore, watch the fishermen and relax with a coconut water. In the evening, enjoy a guided walk to the Kovalam Lighthouse viewpoint for your first Kerala sunset.
Tip: Early arrivals can request a light lunch on arrival and attend the complimentary beach orientation.
Morning Beach Yoga & Introductory Surf Lessons
Start the day with an energizing Beach Yoga session on Hawa Beach, led by a certified instructor — perfect for improving balance and breath control before hitting the waves. After a healthy seaside breakfast, join a supervised beginner surf lesson: on-land theory (board safety, paddling, pop-up technique) followed by in-water coaching at a gentle break. Lunch at a beachfront café. Free time in the late afternoon to practice or relax.
Important: All surf sessions are guided by certified instructors; life vests and safety briefings included.
Progressive Surf Session & Sunset Cruise
After breakfast, take a progressive surf session focused on standing up, wave selection and paddling endurance. Midday is free for optional activities: Ayurvedic foot massage or local handicraft shopping. In late afternoon, board a traditional boat for a sunset cruise along the coastline — enjoy views of the lighthouse, shorelines and a spectacular tropical sunset with light snacks. Return to hotel for dinner and optional beach bonfire (seasonal).
Note: Sunset cruise timing varies with season; best experienced on clear evenings.
Poovar Backwater Cruise & Coastal Village Visit
Day trip to Poovar (approx. 40–60 mins), a scenic estuary where the Neyyar River meets the Arabian Sea. Enjoy a backwater boat cruise through mangroves, watch local birdlife and visit a coastal fishing village to learn about traditional livelihoods. Return to Kovalam in the late afternoon for a relaxing evening — choose an optional short surf refresher or an Ayurvedic head massage.
Travel tip: Carry sunscreen, a hat and a light waterproof jacket during monsoon months.
Leisure Morning, Check-out & Departure
Enjoy a relaxed final morning: a gentle sunrise walk on Lighthouse Beach, optional short yoga session or solo surf practice (subject to tide). After breakfast, check out and transfer to Thiruvananthapuram Airport/Station for your onward journey. If time allows, visit the nearby Padmanabhaswamy Temple or the local craft market.

Recent Kerala Reviews
Kerala Itinerary Built Around Our Exact Preferences
My wife and I had been putting off this Kerala trip for two years because the planning felt overwhelming. A friend suggested TourGrids, and honestly, one call with their team changed everything. The coordinator sat on the phone with me for almost forty minutes, asking what we actually wanted — backwaters, hill stations, or beaches — and built the itinerary around that. No generic package was pushed on us. Hotels were proper good, the cab driver was reliable throughout, and every checkpoint in the trip matched what we had discussed. Pricing was transparent from the start, no hidden charges surfacing later. What I appreciated most was how little I had to think once the booking was done.
Kerala Houseboat Rebooked While We Were Still Upset
We had confirmed a houseboat stay in Alleppey for our anniversary, and two days before, the operator cancelled without warning. My wife was really disappointed — this was the one thing she had been looking forward to the whole trip. I called our coordinator at TourGrids around 9 PM expecting to hear 'we'll try', but by next morning he had a replacement houseboat booked, same stretch, actually better reviews than the original. No extra charge, no back and forth. Rest of the Kerala itinerary — Munnar, Fort Kochi, the drives — everything ran exactly as planned. Hotels were proper good, cabs were always on time. This was our first time booking through a travel company and honestly it removed so much weight from the trip.
Kerala Took Shape Before I Touched a Browser
I was planning a Kerala trip for my wife and me and honestly had no idea where to start — backwaters, hill stations, beaches, it felt overwhelming. A friend suggested TourGrids, so I dropped them a message on WhatsApp. Within the hour, someone from their team called and just asked us what kind of trip we wanted. No sales pitch, proper conversation. Two calls later, the itinerary was ready — Munnar, Alleppey houseboat, Kovalam, all sequenced properly with cab transfers included. They adjusted the houseboat night when I asked, no fuss. Hotels were proper good, no hidden charges at the end. Planning something this detailed usually stresses me out, but this time it genuinely did not.
Kerala Hotels and Cabs Left Nothing to Complain
Travelled to Kerala with my wife last month and honestly the accommodations TourGrids arranged were the highlight. We stayed at a proper resort in Munnar and a lovely heritage property in Alleppey — both were well above what I'd have found on my own at that budget. No compromise on cleanliness or location. The cab transfers were equally solid — same driver for most legs, always on time, comfortable vehicle. No last-minute confusion about pickups or drop timings. Our coordinator Priya had everything pre-confirmed and shared details on WhatsApp the night before each transfer. We just had to show up. For a couple wanting a relaxed Kerala trip without the usual booking chaos, this worked out really well.
Kerala With a Stranger I Ended Up Trusting
First time booking through a travel company — I'd always planned trips myself because I didn't trust anyone with my money or my holiday. A colleague suggested TourGrids, so I got on a call with them before committing anything. They listened properly, no upselling, just asked what my wife and I actually wanted from Kerala. The itinerary they sent back felt personal — Alleppey, Munnar, the right balance of relaxed and packed. Hotels were proper good, cabs were always on time, and no hidden charges when we settled the final bill. The coordinator was reachable throughout, even when we had a small room query at night. Took one trip to change how I travel.
Kerala Houseboat Date Changed, Nobody Panicked But Them
Two days before our Alleppey houseboat stay, my husband realised he'd mixed up the dates on his leave — we needed to shift everything by one day. I was sure it was going to be a mess. Called our TourGrids coordinator around 8 PM, fully expecting bad news. He checked availability, spoke to the property, and had it sorted within the hour. Hotel in Munnar also got adjusted without any fuss. No extra charges were added without explanation, and he kept us updated through WhatsApp the whole time. Rest of the Kerala trip went exactly as planned — backwaters, spice gardens, the works. Genuinely relieved we didn't try to plan this ourselves.
