Our Story
Born in Kerala. Built on passion. Trusted by travellers worldwide.
Since 2010
How Cocos Kerala Began
Cocos Kerala was founded in 2010 by Arunlal K N, a Kerala native whose deep love for his homeland and its extraordinary landscapes inspired him to share it with the world. What began as a small, personal venture grew steadily into one of Kerala's most trusted travel and tour companies.
Over the years, Cocos Kerala has earned a reputation for crafting journeys that go beyond the ordinary — immersive experiences that connect travellers with the real Kerala: its backwaters, its spice-scented forests, its ancient temples, and the warmth of its people.
Today, we design bespoke itineraries across Kerala and all of India, guided by the same founding principle: that travel, done right, changes you.

Traveller Stories
What Our Guests Say
Cocos Kerala turned our dream holiday into a reality beyond anything we imagined. Every detail was perfect — the houseboat, the spice garden, the Kathakali evening. Truly unforgettable.
I have travelled with many agencies across India, but Cocos Kerala stands apart. Arunlal and his team have an insider's knowledge that no guidebook can match.
From the moment we landed to the day we left, everything was seamless. The team was always just a WhatsApp message away. We will be back!
Responsible Travel
Travel That Gives Back
At Cocos Kerala, responsible travel is not a marketing phrase — it is how we operate every single day.
Support Local Communities
We partner exclusively with locally owned homestays, family-run restaurants, and independent artisan workshops, ensuring your travel spend stays in the communities you visit.
Eco-Conscious Stays
Our curated accommodation partners are selected for their environmental practices — from solar energy and rainwater harvesting to plastic-free policies and organic gardens.
Protect Natural Heritage
We follow responsible wildlife viewing guidelines, avoid over-touristed sites during peak hours, and actively support conservation initiatives in Kerala's forests and wetlands.
Reduce Our Footprint
We encourage low-impact travel choices — slow travel itineraries, train journeys over flights where practical, and reusable materials throughout your trip.
