Kerala packages from Hyderabad start at ₹20,900 per person: ₹24,500 for 3 days, ₹29,600 for 4 days, ₹20,900 for 5 days, ₹26,800 for 6 days and ₹46,500 for 7 days, on twin sharing. That is the land package: the stays, breakfasts, a private car with driver for the whole trip, the houseboat with meals where the plan names one, and the sightseeing on each trip page. From Hyderabad the trip starts with a 90-minute flight to Kochi (IndiGo and Air India, several a day, ₹4,000 to ₹8,000 one way outside the December fortnight), or the overnight Sabari Express to Ernakulam, about 20 hours. For a Wayanad-first trip fly to Kozhikode. Every private trip here starts at the airport or station with a car and driver.
What moves the price is the hotel band and the houseboat. A three-star circuit with a standard one-bedroom houseboat sits at the starting figure; four-star tea-estate resorts and a premium houseboat add ₹6,000 to ₹10,000 a head over five days; the luxury plans with five-star stays and a private pool villa are two to three times the base. Meals other than breakfast run ₹400 to ₹900 a head a day; Munnar and Thekkady entries (Eravikulam, the tea museum, Periyar boat, the elephant camp) about ₹1,500 a person over the trip.
Five-star plans, from ₹24,500: 3 Days Munnar Tea Hills Retreat (3D/2N, from ₹24,500); 6 Days Munnar Alleppey Varkala Munroe Island Escape (6D/5N, from ₹26,800); 4 Days Varkala Kovalam Coastal Retreat (4D/3N, from ₹29,600).
