Road trips have their own charm. Have you ever planned an overland holiday alone or with your family? In a diverse country like India, a road trip can open up interesting experiences for you. The sheer diversity of different regions in terms of natural beauty, culture, food, and people can make road trips the best way to explore them. Kerala is one such region in India which is thriving with natural beauty, a vibrant culture, delicious food, and warm people. Travelling around Kerala by road will add another dimension to your holiday.
Road travel is definitely an enjoyable experience but one which also requires a lot of planning. If you wish to get away from the pressures of city life, then adding the stress of planning your holiday to the last detail doesn’t make sense. In such a case, going for a packaged tour can take away the troubles from your head and help you do best what you’re going to do on your holiday - relax.
So, let’s look at what advantages packaged tours have to offer over do-it-yourself tours:
When it comes to road travel, there are several modes of transport you can use. Buses are one of the most essential modes of travel in India. Apart from state-owned buses, there are several luxury deluxe and super deluxe buses too. Moreover, travel agents and tour operators have a number of tourist buses and run tour bus services for travellers. As compared to state-run buses, it’s better to opt for bus tour packages since they are more reliable, won’t break down suddenly, will have all the comforts and be available at discounted prices. Tourist buses are punctual and leave from specific points. Moreover, they also have an option to store the luggage in a separate compartment or fasten them on the roof. But you’ll have to be careful so that they don’t fall off during rough rides For smaller luggage, you can rely on the compartments inside the bus above the seats, but remember to keep track of them since it’s easy for them to be misplaced during tea and refreshments breaks.
So if you’re still hellbent on that Kerala road trip, you can give booking Kerala tourist buses a thought. There are several options on a tourist bus in Kerala such as air conditioning and sleeper facilities that can make your trip comfortable and worry-free. Booking a small tourist bus for rent will be ideal for you to explore Kerala by road.
Here are some of the service providers you can choose from:
Now that you have got an idea of the types of bus you can choose, let’s look at a few precautionary measures you should take before going on a bus trip in Kerala
Your transport options are not limited to bus though. You can also drive through the scenic destinations in Kerala in a car. Kerala has several car rental agencies which you can book. However, when you’re booking it’s important to choose only the licensed and authorised ones as they have more chances of being reliable in terms of finance, safety, and timeliness.
Since Kerala sees a lot of tourists, both domestic and foreign, cab services are in huge demand. Both hotel agencies and travel agencies offer cab services as part of their packaged tours. Choosing cabs as a part of packaged tours can be a really convenient option for travellers.
Oftentimes, your travel agency or hotel can offer you a list of car rental agencies to choose from. All licensed and authorised car agencies will have the following:
