Curated Kerala journeys · since fifteen years

Kerala, the way it should be travelled

Misty tea hills, emerald backwaters, wild forests and golden shores — driven and guided by the people who call this land home.

Our promise

A different way
to see Kerala

Most travel companies sell destinations. We introduce you to ours. Heritage Tours & Travels is a family-run travel house from Trivandrum with a simple belief — a journey should feel like being shown around by a friend.

Every journey on this site is a starting point. Tell us who you are travelling with and what you love, and we will shape it around you — the drives, the stays, the meals, the quiet spots the brochures miss.

Why Heritage

House rules

Most of our travellers come back — or arrive as a friend of a past guest. These are the reasons they give.

Local, for fifteen years and more

A Trivandrum travel house that knows every route, resort and hidden viewpoint — because it is home. Our planners, drivers and partners are one team.

Tailor-made, always

Five-star comfort or a careful budget — every itinerary is drawn around your dates, your pace and your interests. Nothing leaves our desk until it fits you.

Our own fleet, our own drivers

Well-kept vehicles and experienced, courteous chauffeurs — the same fleet trusted with conferences of three hundred cars.

Reachable, any hour

One phone call reaches a real person, any hour of any day — from the day you land to the day you fly home.

Here at Heritage, we do not just do business. We build relationships — which is why everyone we have served once keeps coming back to us.
