Detailed Day Wise Itinerary

  • Day 1
    Info   Arrival in Kochi – Transfer to Munnar

    Your Kerala journey begins as you land at Kochi International Airport or arrive at the Ernakulam Railway Station, where you’ll be warmly welcomed by our professional and friendly driver, holding a placard with your name. From here, your adventure officially begins as you are comfortably seated in a private, air-conditioned cab, ready to transport you into the cool embrace of the hills.

    Your destination today is Munnar, one of India’s most enchanting hill stations, nestled at about 1,600 meters above sea level in the Western Ghats. The drive takes approximately 4.5 hours (around 130 km), but it feels much shorter thanks to the ever-changing landscape that unfolds before your eyes.

    As you leave the city behind, the scenery quickly transitions to lush green countryside, rolling rubber plantations, and neatly aligned spice gardens, filling the air with the earthy aromas of cardamom, pepper, and clove. The road is a photographer’s delight, winding through sleepy hamlets and roadside stalls selling fresh fruits, tender coconuts, and homemade pickles.

     Along the way, you’ll make brief stops at two breathtaking waterfalls:

    • Cheeyappara Waterfalls – cascading down a rock face in seven steps, surrounded by dense forests. It's a perfect spot for photos and a refreshing break.

    • Valara Waterfalls – a continuous stream gushing through wild greenery, often with mist floating in the air. It's one of the most serene roadside viewpoints in Kerala.

    As your vehicle begins climbing higher into the mountains, you’ll feel the temperature drop and see a change in terrain. The surroundings become increasingly lush, with tea plantations stretching like green carpets over the hills, sometimes covered in a soft mist. This is the iconic landscape Munnar is known for—tranquil, unspoiled, and soothing to the soul.

    By late afternoon or early evening, you’ll arrive in Munnar, where the crisp mountain air greets you. Check into your pre-booked hotel or resort, where a warm welcome and refreshing drink usually await.

    The rest of the evening is yours to relax:

    • Take a leisurely walk through nearby tea gardens, where you might see workers delicately plucking fresh tea leaves.

    • Explore the local market, picking up homemade chocolates, fragrant spices, or handcrafted souvenirs.

    • Or simply sit back at your hotel’s balcony, sipping a cup of freshly brewed Munnar tea, as the sun sets behind the hills and the air turns cool.

    This day is about gently easing into Kerala’s pace, leaving the noise of the city behind, and breathing in the freshness of the hills.

    Overnight stay in Munnar.

    End of Day
  • Day 2
    Info   Munnar Sightseeing Tour

    After a refreshing night's sleep in the cool mountain air and a hearty Kerala-style breakfast, your day in Munnar, the crown jewel of Kerala’s hill stations, begins. Today is all about soaking in the beauty, serenity, and cultural richness that this highland paradise has to offer.

    Your first stop is the iconic Eravikulam National Park (please note: closed from February to March for breeding season). This vast protected area is home to the Nilgiri Tahr, a rare and endangered mountain goat species found only in the Western Ghats. The park is nestled at high altitudes and offers panoramic views from the Rajamalai hills, which provide breathtaking vistas of mist-draped valleys and endless green slopes. A park minibus will take you partway up, followed by a short, easy walk that rewards you with wide-open views of the Munnar region and sometimes even distant glimpses of Anamudi Peak, the highest point in South India.

    After connecting with the wild side of Munnar, your journey continues to the Tata Tea Museum (KDHP Tea Museum)—a must-visit for tea lovers and history enthusiasts alike. Located in the Nallathanni Estate, this museum tells the story of Munnar’s transformation into a tea-growing haven under British rule. Inside, you’ll see antique tea processing equipment, photographs, and even a live demonstration of how tea leaves are turned into the brew we all love. Don’t forget to taste a freshly brewed cup of authentic Kerala tea at the end of your tour!

    Next, head toward the Mattupetty Dam, a major hydroelectric project surrounded by lush green hills and forests. The calm waters of the dam are ideal for boating, and pedal or speedboats are available for those who want to enjoy the scenic surroundings from the water. The area is also known for its echo phenomenon, and you’ll notice how the dam amplifies even a soft call.

    Just a short drive away lies Echo Point, a unique natural location where your voice bounces back to you from the surrounding hills. It's a fun spot for families and children, and also offers great views of the mist-covered valleys and shimmering lake. Street vendors here sell local snacks, spices, and handmade crafts—a great place for quick shopping or sipping on a warm cup of chai.

    Your final sightseeing stop is Kundala Lake, a serene, lesser-known destination that feels like a fairytale. Located at a higher altitude than Munnar, this artificial reservoir is surrounded by forests of eucalyptus and pine, creating a cool and peaceful environment. The calm lake offers pedal boating and shikara-style rides, and the reflections of the hills in the water make it a favorite among photographers. Horse riding is also available near the lake, especially during weekends and holidays.

    After a day filled with sightseeing, natural wonders, and cultural insights, you’ll return to your hotel in Munnar. The evening is free for leisure—take a slow walk through a nearby tea garden, explore the town’s local market, or simply relax in your room as the cool mountain air and distant aroma of tea leaves lull you into complete relaxation.

    This day in Munnar not only showcases Kerala’s most scenic landscapes but also offers a glimpse into its heritage, wildlife, and the simplicity of life amidst the hills.

    End of Day
  • Day 3
    Info   Munnar to Thekkady – Wildlife and Culture

    After enjoying a wholesome breakfast in the refreshing hills of Munnar, you’ll check out from your hotel and begin your scenic drive to Thekkady—a lush, green destination located in the Idukki district of Kerala, best known for its Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary and spice plantations. The journey is approximately 100 km and takes around 3.5 hours, but the road itself is a treat to the senses.

    As you descend from Munnar’s tea-covered slopes, the terrain gradually transforms into dense forests, cardamom estates, pepper vines, and thick bamboo groves. The air begins to smell of spices—cardamom, clove, and black pepper—grown abundantly in this region. Along the way, you’ll spot locals selling fresh fruits, forest honey, and handmade spice products. Feel free to pause at a roadside shop or viewpoint to stretch your legs and enjoy the scenery.

    Upon reaching Thekkady, you’ll check into your hotel or eco-resort nestled amidst the greenery. Take some time to relax—perhaps enjoy a cup of spice-infused tea on the veranda, or simply take in the sounds of birds and rustling trees. Thekkady offers a peaceful escape into nature, and your stay here is designed to help you disconnect from city life and reconnect with the wild.

    In the afternoon, prepare for an optional but unforgettable experience: a visit to the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, one of the most famous and well-preserved sanctuaries in Southern India. Spread across over 900 square kilometers, the sanctuary surrounds the Periyar Lake, a calm reservoir formed by the Mullaperiyar Dam. The best way to explore the sanctuary is by boat cruise on Periyar Lake (subject to availability and weather conditions).

    The boat ride usually lasts about 90 minutes, and it’s during this tranquil cruise that you may spot elephants bathing along the banks, sambar deer grazing, wild boars, and sometimes even Indian bison (gaur). Bird lovers will enjoy spotting kingfishers, hornbills, herons, and other exotic bird species flying across the lake. The atmosphere is serene, with forested hills rising around you and the reflection of trees dancing on the water’s surface—an unforgettable wildlife experience in the heart of Kerala.

    Once the boat ride is done, you can explore the area further with optional visits to spice plantations, where a guide will walk you through rows of cardamom, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and other spices. You’ll learn about how these spices are cultivated, processed, and used—not just in cooking, but also in medicine and cosmetics. These tours are interactive and deeply enriching, offering a glimpse into Kerala’s agricultural soul.

    As evening falls, Thekkady comes alive with its vibrant cultural programs. You have the option to attend a traditional Kathakali performance, Kerala’s ancient dance-drama known for its elaborate costumes, colorful makeup, and expressive storytelling through facial expressions and hand gestures. Alternatively, you may watch a thrilling Kalaripayattu martial arts show—one of the oldest martial arts in the world, developed in Kerala centuries ago. These shows are held in local cultural centers and are a must-see to understand the depth of Kerala’s heritage.

    After a day filled with nature, culture, and flavors, return to your hotel for a restful night. The calm, cool air of Thekkady and the gentle symphony of crickets and distant animal calls will lull you into a peaceful sleep.

    Overnight stay in Thekkady.

    End of Day
  • Day 4
    Info   Thekkady to Alleppey – Backwaters & Houseboat Bliss

    After an early breakfast in the forested calm of Thekkady, you’ll check out and begin your journey toward Alleppey (Alappuzha)—fondly known as the "Venice of the East" and the gateway to Kerala’s world-famous backwaters. The drive covers approximately 140 kilometers and takes around 4 to 5 hours, weaving through scenic countryside dotted with spice plantations, rubber estates, and typical Keralite villages. Along the way, watch the landscape shift from lush hills to tropical lowlands lined with swaying coconut palms and glistening waterways.

    As you approach Alleppey, the air becomes more humid and salty, and glimpses of canals, backwater lagoons, and traditional wooden boats begin to appear. You’ll arrive at the houseboat boarding point by 12:00 noon, where your floating home for the night awaits.

    Step aboard your private, traditionally crafted houseboat, known locally as a kettuvallam. These elegant boats are made from eco-friendly materials like coir, bamboo, and wood, and are fitted with modern comforts including a bedroom with an attached bathroom, dining area, and an open sundeck for viewing the backwaters in all their glory. You’ll be greeted by a warm houseboat crew, typically consisting of a captain, a chef, and a helper, all of whom are dedicated to making your stay memorable.

    As the houseboat gently sets off on its cruise through the vast Vembanad Lake and its intricate network of canals, you’ll immediately feel the pace of life slow down. Watch as you glide past endless green paddy fields, coconut groves reflected in still waters, and tiny village hamlets where people live by the rhythm of the backwaters. You might spot fishermen casting their nets, women washing clothes by the riverbanks, or children waving as they cycle along narrow embankments.

    While you sit back and relax, your onboard chef will prepare a traditional Kerala lunch—usually featuring rice, sambar, vegetable dishes, papad, and Kerala-style fish curry (or a vegetarian option, as per your preference). Meals are made fresh with locally sourced ingredients, offering an authentic taste of the region. Later in the day, enjoy evening tea or coffee with banana fritters or local snacks, served on the deck as the golden sunlight begins to dip across the water.

    The cruise is designed to be peaceful and personal. You can lie on the deck, take photos of flocks of birds flying low over the lake, or simply close your eyes and listen to the gentle sound of water lapping against the boat. This is Kerala at its most serene—a floating retreat through nature’s embrace.

    As night falls, the houseboat will anchor near a quiet village or canal bank. The stillness of the backwaters at dusk, with the occasional chirp of crickets and distant temple bells, creates a magical atmosphere. A simple yet delicious dinner will be served onboard, after which you can choose to enjoy some stargazing from the deck or head to your cozy bedroom for the night.

    Overnight stay on the houseboat in Alleppey – a truly unforgettable and authentic Kerala experience.

  • Day 5
    Info   Alleppey to Kochi – Local Sightseeing & Heritage

    After a peaceful night aboard your Alleppey houseboat, you’ll awaken to the soothing sound of water gently lapping against the hull and birds calling from the nearby coconut trees. Enjoy a traditional Kerala-style breakfast served hot by the houseboat crew – usually featuring local delicacies like appam with vegetable stew, puttu, or idiyappam with curry, along with fresh fruits and chai.

    By 9:00 AM, it's time to disembark from the houseboat and bid farewell to the backwaters as your driver meets you for the next leg of your journey — a 2.5-hour scenic drive (approx. 90 km) to Kochi (Cochin), Kerala’s bustling port city that beautifully blends colonial architecture, cultural heritage, and modern living.

    As you arrive in Kochi, you’ll be checked into your hotel for a short rest before heading out to explore one of the most fascinating cities on the Malabar Coast.


    Kochi Sightseeing Highlights

    Fort Kochi

    Step into a world where time seems to slow down. Fort Kochi is a charming coastal town known for its cobblestone streets, Portuguese-era buildings, and peaceful ambiance. The fusion of Dutch, Portuguese, British, and local Kerala influences creates a unique atmosphere unlike anywhere else in India.

    ✝️ St. Francis Church

    Your first stop is St. Francis Church, built in 1503 — the oldest European church in India. It was once the burial site of Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, whose remains were later taken to Lisbon. The simplicity and historical importance of this church make it a must-visit.

    Chinese Fishing Nets

    Just a short stroll away are the iconic Chinese Fishing Nets, or Cheenavala – massive cantilevered fishing nets introduced by Chinese traders in the 14th century. Watch local fishermen operate these ancient mechanisms, especially around sunset, when the golden light creates a surreal silhouette. This is one of Kochi’s most photographed scenes.

    Mattancherry & Jewish Synagogue

    Head toward Mattancherry, the cultural melting pot of Kochi. Explore the Paradesi Synagogue – the oldest active synagogue in the Commonwealth, built in 1568. Its beautiful Belgian chandeliers, hand-painted Chinese tiles, and scrolls of the Old Testament are truly mesmerizing. (Note: closed on Fridays, Saturdays & Jewish holidays)

    Dutch Palace (Mattancherry Palace)

    Also known as the Dutch Palace, this 16th-century building is home to beautifully preserved Kerala murals, intricately carved wooden ceilings, and historical exhibits about the Cochin Royal Family. It’s a great place to understand Kerala’s unique matrilineal history and local traditions.


    Leisure & Shopping

    Marine Drive

    In the evening, stroll along Marine Drive, a peaceful seaside promenade that offers lovely views of the backwaters and harbor. It’s popular with locals and perfect for watching ferries, sipping on coconut water, or enjoying street snacks like roasted peanuts and local ice cream.

    Lulu Mall (Optional)

    If time permits and you’d like a more modern shopping experience, you can visit Lulu Mall, one of the largest shopping malls in India. It houses a wide range of branded stores, Kerala handicrafts, souvenirs, and an impressive food court — perfect for picking up last-minute gifts.


    Optional: Seafood Dinner at a Waterfront Café

    Kochi is known for its fresh seafood, and there are plenty of seaside restaurants and cafés near Fort Kochi or Marine Drive where you can enjoy dishes like Karimeen Pollichathu (pearl spot fish), prawns roast, or Malabar crab curry, along with a stunning sunset view. 

    Return to Hotel

    After an enriching day exploring Kochi’s cultural and coastal highlights, return to your hotel for a well-deserved rest.

    Overnight stay in Kochi.

    End of Day
  • Day 6
    Info   Departure from Kochi – Farewell Kerala

    After waking up to your final morning in the serene land of Kerala, enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel in Kochi, soaking in the last flavors of South Indian cuisine — perhaps fluffy idlis, crispy dosa, fresh tropical fruits, and a hot cup of Kerala-style filter coffee ☕.

    Once you're packed and ready, it's time to check out from the hotel. Our courteous driver will be waiting at the lobby to assist you with your luggage and ensure a smooth and comfortable transfer to Cochin International Airport or Ernakulam Railway Station, depending on your onward travel plans.

    The drive to the airport/station gives you a final chance to look out at Kerala’s lush green palms, local life unfolding along the roadside, and the occasional glimpse of a backwater canal or a temple spire peeking through the trees. It's more than just a journey — it’s a quiet moment to reflect on all that you've seen and experienced.

    As you head home, you're not just leaving a destination behind — you're carrying with you a piece of Kerala’s soul:

    • The misty, tea-scented hills of Munnar

    •  The spice-scented forests and wildlife of Thekkady

    •  The calming rhythm of the Alleppey backwaters

    •  And the cultural tapestry of Kochi, where ancient traditions meet modern charm

    These memories — of peaceful landscapes, gentle people, colorful heritage, and flavorful cuisine — will stay with you long after the trip ends. Whether you came to unwind, explore, reconnect with nature, or discover new cultures, Kerala would have offered you just the right blend of all.

    We hope your heart leaves fuller than it arrived, and that you’ll return someday to uncover even more of what this beautiful land has to offer. 

    Farewell from Kerala – Until next time… Namaskaram!
