Day Wise Itinerary

Upon your early arrival at Cochin airport or railway station, you will be greeted and driven to the beautiful hill station of Munnar. En route, feel the cool breeze and stop to admire the cascading beauty of Cheeyappara and Valara Waterfalls. Once a summer resort for the British, Munnar welcomes you with its vast, never-ending tea plantations. In the evening, enjoy a leisurely visit to a photo point and rose garden, followed by a gentle city walk before your overnight stay.

After breakfast, your day is dedicated to exploring the natural wonders around Munnar. Visit the renowned Eravikulam National Park, a unique wildlife sanctuary set against a backdrop of rolling tea plantations, offering magnificent views of the high ranges. In the afternoon, proceed to Echo Point, where you can play with sound, and the impressive Mattupetty Dam, where boating facilities are available on the reservoir. A visit to a tea factory will give you insight into the region's most famous product before you return to your hotel for the night.

After breakfast, you will journey to Thekkady, home of the famous Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. The highlight of the day is a boat ride on Periyar Lake, the core of the sanctuary, which offers a unique and safe opportunity to view wildlife like elephants, bison, and deer from the water. You can also opt for a plantation tour to learn about the spices that Kerala is famous for, including cardamom, pepper, and coffee. Overnight stay will be in Thekkady.

Today, you travel to Alleppey, the heart of Kerala's backwaters. By noon, you will check in to your choice of accommodation: a traditional houseboat or a hotel. If you choose the houseboat, you will embark on a mind-blowing cruise through serene canals, witnessing local life and breathtaking scenery, with all meals included on board. If you choose a hotel, you will enjoy a full-day backwater cruise on a smaller shared boat. This day is all about relaxation and immersion in the tranquil backwater ecosystem.

After breakfast, check out and drive to Trivandrum. Your destination is the famous coastal town of Kovalam. Here, you will visit the iconic Vizhinjam Lighthouse and the Juma Masjid mosque overlooking the vibrant fishing harbor. The afternoon is yours to relax on the palm-backed beaches like Hawah and Samudra, visit the local museum, and witness a spectacular sunset over the Arabian Sea before your overnight stay.

After a final breakfast, you will be transferred to the Trivandrum airport or railway station for your departure, bringing your tour of Kerala to a close with a treasure trove of sweet memories.
