Great 5 days tour in Kerala - well organized and highly recommended
We booked the tour from Israel. Vijesh was very helpful in planning the trip for our family. Even though we had to postponed the trip he was very flexible and didn’t charge extra. The driver was very nice and helpful. After we finished the tour he also helped us arranging a resort in Kovalam with a very good price.

Great experience!
Thank you so much for a wonderful trip! We had an amazing time! Everything was perfect - from the selection of the wonderful hotels and comfortable rooms to the great drivers and the fantastic guides who accompanied us. The driver was simply amazing – so patient during the challenging drives, and we felt very safe with him. Thank you for the effort and for thinking of every little detail (like having water bottles in the car). The itinerary was excellent, and the flexibility for changes and spontaneous experiences was fantastic. We had a great time!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5 Nights 6 Days in Kerala Hills and Backwaters: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kochi.
How much does 5 Nights 6 Days in Kerala Hills and Backwaters cost?
+
Prices start at $700 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kochi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5 Nights 6 Days in Kerala Hills and Backwaters take?
+
Plan for about 144 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kochi is not rushed.
Is 5 Nights 6 Days in Kerala Hills and Backwaters worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kochi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Nights 6 Days in Kerala Hills and Backwaters?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 5 Nights 6 Days in Kerala Hills and Backwaters suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5 Nights 6 Days in Kerala Hills and Backwaters?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kochi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kochi and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5 Nights 6 Days in Kerala Hills and Backwaters start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kochi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kochi?
+
On Outty we rank every Kochi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Local Kochi Sightseeing Tuk-Tuk Tour, Kochi Sightseeing Tuk-Tuk Tour, Kochi Sightseeing Tuk-Tuk Tour with Pickup From Cruise Ships. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kochi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kochi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
