ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

YOUR TRIP DESIGN, PACE & FLEXIBILITY: This itinerary is fully private and built around your preferred dates, pace and comfort level, travelling from Chennai to Mumbai over 13 days via Kerala’s backwaters and the Deccan’s heritage cities. We will advise the most efficient routing to balance temple architecture, coastal scenes and city time with realistic transfers, then refine the day-by-day with you. The outline is designed to flow from Chennai (including key day trips) to Kochi and Kumarakom, then on to Hyderabad and Mumbai; we can slow the pace by adding nights in Kerala or extend the journey with a Goa beach finish if you want more downtime.

PRIVATE GUIDES, DRIVERS & ON-THE-GROUND SUPPORT: This is a high-end private journey with a dedicated vehicle and driver, plus expert local guides arranged for the most important visits. We manage airport meet-and-greet, seamless hotel arrivals and well-timed touring, so you are met and looked after at each stage rather than navigating logistics independently. Where early starts improve the experience (cooler temple visits, quieter monuments, or best light for photography), we plan them carefully and keep the overall rhythm comfortable. If traffic, weather or site timings affect the day, we will re-sequence touring to protect the highlights while keeping the trip smooth and unhurried.

ACCOMMODATION STANDARDS & MEAL BASIS: We select premium, well-located accommodation to match your brief, typically using high-comfort city hotels and standout heritage-style stays where they add character. In Kerala, we prioritise waterfront comfort and include a private houseboat cruise as a signature experience, planned for maximum relaxation. Breakfast is typically included, with other meals arranged around your preferences—curated restaurant recommendations and reservations in Chennai, Kochi, Hyderabad and Mumbai, and more inclusive dining where logistics make it sensible. Room category, bedding preferences and upgrades should be confirmed early, particularly in peak periods. Dietary needs are usually straightforward with advance notice.

FLIGHTS, VISAS, HEALTH & TRAVEL INSURANCE: The itinerary uses internal flights where they materially improve comfort and reduce long transfers, alongside private overland touring. International flights are optional: we can arrange the trip as land-only, or include flights as part of a flight-inclusive package under our ATOL (where applicable). Entry requirements depend on your passport; we will guide you on typical requirements and timing, while you remain responsible for meeting visa and entry rules. Activity levels are light-to-moderate, with city walking and uneven surfaces at heritage sites. Comprehensive travel insurance is essential, including medical cover and disruption.

COSTING, PAYMENTS, CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS: Tailor-made pricing is built from live supplier rates (hotels, private transport, guides, internal flights and booked experiences), so availability and costs can change until services are secured. The main price drivers are seasonality, hotel category, flight availability, and any added upgrades such as a Goa extension or special cultural experiences. Some high-demand hotels may require advance payments to secure space; we will confirm exactly what is due and by when before taking payment. Changes after booking can trigger supplier fees or fare differences; we will explain the impact before actioning changes and provide clear documentation of deadlines and terms.
