If you say that Kerala is all about luxury travel, think again. Within this tropical paradise - otherwise known as `God's Own Country' - is something beautiful for every money-conscious traveler: floating down the backwaters, lush green tea plantations, or soaking in golden sunsets over unspoiled beaches: Kerala indeed makes dreams possible. No more expensive tours are the answer; just learn a few insider tips to get more bang for your buck while still soaking up the magic that Kerala has to offer.
Getting to the budget-friendly Kerala adventure would be using the public transport for reaching Kerala at cheap costs as the first step. If you at all travel within the borders of India, book your train travel tickets advance - sleeping classes tickets could be an absolute steal of Indian railways cheap tickets for travel. For your flights, however, keep an eye out for great discounts from India's budget airlines like IndiGo, SpiceJet, or AirAsia. That flexibility with dates of travel to be put in may actually add to fantastic bargains.
Once you land, lose out on the taxi fares. Kerala has a network of very well connected bus routes, the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) buses being the cheapest mode of travel between the cities. Auto-rickshaws are another option for cheap ways to travel around, only remember to negotiate the fare before hopping into one!
Accommodation takes together one of the heaviest tolls on pretty much any travels; it, however, has plenty of room for low-cost accommodation in Kerala. Instead of spending money on expensive hotels and resorts, home-stays, backpacker hostels, and guest houses could also be a more economical option. You can score on budget stays on sites such as Airbnb and Booking.com, and home-cooked meals come in at most of these options, all money imaginable savings included in warm hospitality.
Homestays: The perfect experience of Kerala with cultural induction is that-the family invites you as a guest into their home, offers a cozy room, and prepares authentically local food at very cheap rates compared to hotels.
Backpacker hostels: If you are a solo traveler or someone who loves to meet other similar minds, then hostel facilities in the likes of Fort Kochi or Varkala will have really cheap dorm beds.
Ashrams: If you can survive a more spiritual experience, then have some ashrams that offer free or very low-cost accommodation in exchange for taking part in a few meditation or yoga sessions.
Food in any of Kerala is a tasting by itself; you need not sit in high-standard restaurants to taste the authentic flavors. Visit local eateries, street food stalls, and budget eateries for good quality, but affordable meals.
Try Thali Meals: Kerala's thali (known colloquially as 'meals') is a feast fit for a king with an unlimited amount of rice, sambar, curries, and pickles for just a few rupees when served on a banana leaf.
Local Cafés and Bakeries: Small bakeries around Kerala serve a variety of cakes priced very low and fresh too, such as pazham pori (banana fritters), samosas, and vada.
Tea Shops: Offer chai and light snacks to go easy on the pocket.
Kerala is a land of innumerable breathtaking sights that you can enjoy at low (if not free) prices. The following are some must-visit places that would not break the bank:
This small romantic place is for budget tourists. All the colonial-era streets, admire the Chinese fishing nets or join in a visit to the Santa Cruz Basilica, and as with the art scene through the Kochi Biennale: free!
Houseboats are extremely costly, so if you're interested in the backwaters but want to spend money, try a local ferry ride at scenic canals instead. It is by far the cheapest way to experience some of Kerala's best-known waterways-and the Alleppey-Kollam ferry will take you there.
Beautiful Tea Gardens but without the Price Tag Munnar's tea plantations will make for a wondrous sight, and a visit does not cost a single dime. Stroll lazily on those myriad, rolling green hills, visit the Tata Tea Museum by paying a small amount, and fill your lungs with fresh mountain air.
Varkala is unlike other crowded beach spots: it floods with superb cliffs, pristine sand beaches, and yoga retreats-all at affordable prices. Budget hostels, beach shacks, and cheap cafes dot this place and make it the best stop for starving but budgetable travelers.
Most of the trekking you can do in misty hills and lush forests of Wayanad from trekking is also free. Come to check the Edakkal caves, trek through some waterfalls, or plan a budget safari in Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary.
Having learned what to see and how much to spend on everything, below are additional tips that can make a trip to Kerala even cheaper.
Off-Season Travel: The worst times to fly are between May and September (monsoon season), and nowhere is it more apparent than for flights, accommodation, and tour prices.
Use Public Transport: Buses and shared autos are much cheaper than cabs. For longer distances, opt for state-run trains as opposed to private taxis.
Skip the Expensive Tours: Most attractions wouldn't require you to spend money booking a guided tour to be able to explore the sites.
Bargain Like A Pro: When shopping local markets or hiring an auto-rickshaw, expect to haggle; you're going to save a lot!
Drink Filtered Water: It quickly adds up to buy bottled water time and again, so pack a reusable bottle and refill it from a clean, filtered station.
Who said that paradise has to be expensive? Because of Kerala, travel experiences can be had entirely over the top without spending a fortune. From some of the most beautiful natural landscapes to really rich culture, from mouth-watering food all the way to hospitality-fined prices, everything that a traveler could ever dream has its price without making the pocket cry at the end.
Thus, if you have been postponing that Kerala trip in your dreams because it is ever on the high side, it is time to rethink. Pack up, get that budget ticket, and prepare yourself for adventure as light on the pocket as rich in experience. Safe travels!
