Complete Travel Guide, Packages, Budget & Booking Tips
Planning a holiday from Gujarat to Kerala? Our Kerala tour packages from Ahmedabad are designed for travellers who want to explore God’s Own Country comfortably, with carefully planned itineraries, reliable hotels, private transportation and local assistance.
Kerala is a wonderful choice for Ahmedabad travellers because it offers an entirely different holiday experience. Instead of dry landscapes and western Indian city life, Kerala welcomes you with misty mountains, tea plantations, tropical forests, waterfalls, peaceful backwaters, beaches and delicious cuisine.
Whether you are travelling with family, as a couple, with friends or as a group, a well-planned Kerala holiday can combine Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey, Kumarakom, Kovalam, Varkala and Kochi into one memorable journey.
At MyHappyJourney, we understand that Gujarati travellers often have specific preferences when travelling outside Gujarat. We speak Hindi, we are experienced in handling Gujarati customers, and we can help arrange Gujarati food during your Kerala holiday wherever arrangements are available.

You can begin your holiday among the tea plantations of Munnar, continue into the forests of Thekkady, spend a night surrounded by Kerala’s famous backwaters and finish your trip relaxing on the beaches of Kovalam or Varkala.

- Gujarati thali
- Vegetarian meals
- Jain food requirements
- Simple Indian vegetarian food
- Special dietary preferences
If food is particularly important to your family, tell us before booking. We can plan the hotel and dining arrangements accordingly rather than trying to solve the problem after you arrive in Kerala.

Travelling to another state becomes much easier when you can communicate comfortably.
At MyHappyJourney, we speak Hindi and regularly assist travellers who prefer communicating in Hindi.
We understand that Gujarati families may have questions about:
- Hotels
- Food
- Vehicle arrangements
- Sightseeing
- Houseboats
- Senior citizen comfort
- Child-friendly itineraries
