- Mild climate in the hills: Munnar’s cooler temperatures make afternoons pleasant for kids and elders.
- Food variety: From simple dosas and steamed idlis to mild curries, Kerala cuisine can be adapted for picky eaters and most hotels cater to children’s plates.
- Accessible health & safety: Tourist towns have clinics and pharmacies; licensed guides and vetted drivers reduce day-to-day risks.
- Memorable family activities: Gentle boating, tea-garden walks, and short nature trails create shared memories without physical strain.
These features make Kerala a dependable choice for multi-generation travel and a strong fit for Delhi to Kerala tour packages for family focused on comfort and convenience.
How to Reach Kerala from Delhi & Chennai
From Delhi: Most families fly into Cochin International Airport (COK), which has multiple daily connections from Delhi. Flight times are typically around 3–3.5 hours; add transfer time to reach Munnar (road transfer ~4–6 hours depending on stops). Private transfer vehicles arranged by your tour operator make the onward journey comfortable for families frequent breaks and kid-friendly snack stops are standard.
From Chennai: Travelers based in Chennai commonly prefer short flights to Cochin, or trains that connect overnight to Ernakulam. If you’re searching locally, a Munnar package from Chennai is a popular option because it often bundles convenient transfers from Chennai to Cochin and onward road transport to Munnar. Operators experienced with Chennai departures can tailor pick-ups and minimize long waits.
Practical routing note: When planning, allow a comfortable buffer between your Chennai/Delhi arrival time and onward coach departure to account for traffic and photo stops; families do better with relaxed schedules than tight connections.
Highlight: Munnar What Families Love
Munnar is a compact hill station where tea gardens, lakes and viewpoints sit within short driving distance. Highlights families frequently enjoy:
- Tea garden walks: Gentle, framed paths through manicured tea bushes are perfect for slow strolls and photos.
- Mattupetty / Kundala Lake boating: Calm waters and short boat rides delight children and provide restful viewing for elders.
- Echo Point: A fun, short stop where kids love shouting for echoes and capturing playful photos.
- Short nature trails: Several easy trails exist near town; choose one under guide recommendation to suit mobility levels.
- Local flavors & snacks: Try warm banana chips, locally made chocolates and mild Kerala breakfast items that are kid-friendly.
Munnar is also a good base for optional experiences such as an early morning jeep ride to high-altitude viewpoints (Kolukkumalai) if your family enjoys a bit of adventure but these are optional and best booked through your operator.
