On most of our trips, you’ll be part of an intimate group of 12-16 people, though our group sizes are on average 10 people. Our Overland trips are in purpose-built vehicles that can carry up to 24 travelers. Group sizes are displayed on each trip’s overview page on our website.

Can I just do part of the trip?

We wanted to go to Kerala for a tour of this beautiful Indian state and, after some research, we chose Exotic Luxury Holiday to arrange it for us. We wanted 8 days, 7 nights, arriving at one airport and leaving at another and they were excellent in recommending and assisting us in finding just the right itinerary, hotels and rooms to suit our needs and budget. Communication was great, follow up was superb and any questions or concerns were answered and resolved quickly. I can highly recommend using Exotic Luxury Holiday, with their extensive local knowledge, to organise your trip.

Our trip to Kerala was full of memories and it would have not been possible without Exotic Luxury Holiday.Thank you Exotic Luxury Holiday for being best in your business. Right from our first enquire the response was prompt and to the point. They were patient enough to answer queries we raised and ensured all criterias and hotels requested are considered. I must say every place we stayed we got best accomidation. Transport is very important aspect of the trip and so is the driver cum guide, we were picked up in comfy sedan and greeted by friendly driver at the kochi airport. He was very considerate right from begining as we were traveling with my 7yr old daughter. He was friendly yet very professional and ensured we covered most of the places . Thank you Exotic Luxury Holiday for so many wonderful memories and pleasant 7days stay in Kerala. I personally recommend Exotic Luxury Holiday.

Me and my wife, both senior citizens, were in the net while planning a trip to Kerala and then Exotic Luxury Holiday jumped in and we started communicating in almost a cakewalk manner. Exotic Luxury Holiday listened to us, got our desire and wishes and tailor-made an itinerary much acceptable to us. And all in a blitzkrieg! It started nice from Kochi airport on 4th June and I’m sure would end up tomorrow, 11th June, at Kochi airport splendidly. We had been to Cherai, Atheerappily, Munnar, Alleppey Houseboat and back to Fort Kochi with an impeccable car provided by Iris and an excellent driver cum guide.

This was a really a fun excellent interactive tour of the area. Got out and saw lots of the highlights of the area. Some were docks, fishing area including the unique way they use nets to catch fish and we were allowed to participate, Jewish synagogue and Jewish area, temples, washing clothes area, spice and herb where the train drops off and picks up after processing. We met a woman working with ginger, candle making, teas and coffees, crafts and more. The guide was amazing. Gave a great history of the area.

Most of the hotels that we stayed in were excellent. They are all wonderful resorts. The Fort House in Kochi has a beautiful outdoors but the hotel room itself is a little rustic and shabby. Also, in the Fort House, we were awakened at 5 am in the morning by the very loud call to prayer from the neighbouring mosque. Staying overnight in the houseboat was not worth it. The boat is an old one and staying overnight in a parked boat on a not very comfortable bed was not interesting.
