Travel planning today often comes with two extremes, rigid group tours that leave little room to breathe, or fully private journeys that can feel overwhelming to plan and expensive to execute. Our Kerala Fixed Departure Tours are designed to sit comfortably in between: small groups, fixed dates, and thoughtfully curated experiences, without compromising on comfort or authenticity.
At Green Earth Trails, fixed departures are not about ticking boxes or rushing through highlights. They are about sharing meaningful journeys with like-minded travellers, while we take care of the logistics, pacing, and local expertise.
What is this Fixed Departure Tour about?
A fixed departure tour is a program that runs on pre-announced dates, with a limited group size and a clearly defined itinerary. Unlike large group tours, our departures are intentionally kept small, allowing space for genuine interactions, flexibility on the road, and a more personal travel rhythm.
You know:
When the tour starts
What it includes
Who it’s suited for
How many seats are available
No surprises, no last-minute planning stress.
Why Choose a Fixed Departure in Kerala?
Kerala is a destination best experienced slowly. Its strength lies not in monuments alone, but in landscapes, people, food, waterways, forests, and everyday life. Fixed departures allow us to design routes that flow naturally, from the hills to the backwaters, from wildlife regions to heritage towns, without rushing or overcrowding.
Scenic hill stations like Munnar
Forest and wildlife regions such as Thekkady
Backwater experiences in Alleppey or Kumarakom
Cultural time in Fort Kochi
Carefully chosen stays that reflect the character of each region
Who Are These Tours Ideal For?
Our Kerala fixed departures work especially well for:
Solo travellers who enjoy company but value personal space
Couples looking for a relaxed, well-organised journey
First-time visitors to India who want structure with flexibility
Slow travellers who prefer depth over speed
Guests who appreciate local experiences over mass tourism
If you enjoy good conversations, unhurried mornings, and journeys that feel human rather than mechanical, fixed departures are a great fit.
Small Groups, Real Experiences
One of the most important aspects of our fixed departure tours is group size. By keeping numbers limited, we’re able to:
Use comfortable vehicles
Choose smaller, characterful accommodations
Adapt the pace to the group
Maintain a calm, respectful travel environment
This also allows better access to experiences such as nature walks, village visits, backwater cruises, and local interactions — without feeling like part of a crowd.
How Booking Works
Each fixed departure has:
A clearly announced start date
A limited number of seats
Once seats are filled, the departure is closed. This ensures quality for everyone on the journey.
Early enquiries are recommended, especially during the winter season (November to March), which is the most popular time to travel in Kerala.
Why Travel With Green Earth Trails
Our fixed departures reflect the way we believe Kerala should be experienced — responsibly, thoughtfully, and with care. We work closely with local communities, drivers, guides, and hosts, ensuring that every journey supports the people and places you travel through.
More importantly, we stay personally involved, before, during, and after the journey — so that your travel experience feels supported, not transactional.
Upcoming Fixed Departure Tours
We regularly announce new fixed departure dates for the season. Each departure is limited in size and crafted with attention to detail.
Final Thought
At Green Earth Trails we designed this Kerala fixed departure tour with not an intent to follow a crowd, they’re about travelling together, thoughtfully. If you’re looking for a Kerala journey that balances structure with soul, our fixed departures might be exactly what you’re looking for.
