Kerala Luxe Voyage - 6N/7D Package

Arrival in Kochi – Scenic Drive to Munnar

As you arrive at Kochi International Airport ✈️ or Ernakulam Railway Station , you'll be greeted with a warm smile by our friendly local driver , ready to accompany you on the first leg of your magical Kerala journey.

Soon, you begin your drive to Munnar — a picturesque hill station nestled in the embrace of the Western Ghats (approx. 130 km / 4–5 hrs). The journey itself is more than just a transfer; it's your first taste of Kerala’s natural beauty.

 Along the way, the road winds through lush rubber plantations, fragrant spice gardens , and quaint countryside scenes — women walking with umbrellas, small fruit stalls selling jackfruit and bananas, and mist drifting through the treetops.

 One of the most scenic highlights en route is a stop at the Cheeyappara and Valara Waterfalls. Here, you can step out, stretch your legs, and enjoy the refreshing spray and roaring sound of water cascading down the rocks — a perfect photo spot  and a breath of fresh mountain air.

As you continue the uphill drive, you'll notice the temperature gently dropping ❄️, and soon, you're surrounded by rolling hills blanketed in emerald-green tea plantations. Munnar’s landscapes look like a painting — mist-covered peaks, winding roads, and the faint scent of tea leaves in the breeze.

You’ll arrive in Munnar by late afternoon and check into your comfortable hill resort. The rest of the evening is at your leisure.

Whether you choose to:

• Take a relaxed stroll through the nearby tea gardens ,

• Explore the local town market  for homemade chocolates, spices, or souvenirs,

• Or just sip a steaming cup of fresh Munnar tea ☕ on your balcony…

...you’ll find that Munnar’s charm lies in its silence, cool air, and slow pace of life. Let your body unwind and your mind settle — the hills are calling. 

Overnight stay in Munnar.

Munnar ➡️ Thekkady – Spice Hills, Wildlife & Culture

After a delicious breakfast in the misty hills of Munnar☕, it’s time to check out and head toward the wild and spice-scented lands of Thekkady one of Kerala’s most unique eco-tourism destinations, located about 100 km away (approx. 3.5 hours) through winding mountain roads.

As you drive through the lush Western Ghats, the scenery transforms into green spice plantations, deep valleys, and forests. Keep your windows open to breathe in the aroma of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, and black pepper—this region is often called “The Spice Bowl of Kerala”.

On arrival in Thekkady, check in to your hotel or eco-resort, nestled amidst tall trees and birdsong. Take a short rest or freshen up before heading out for an adventurous afternoon.

Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary & Periyar Lake Cruise

A must-visit in Thekkady is the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, a protected area known for its tiger reserve and rich biodiversity. Located around the Periyar Lake, this dense forest is home to:

• Elephants

• Sambar Deer

• Wild Boars

• Hornbills, Kingfishers, and other exotic birds

⛵ You can opt for an optional boat cruise on the calm waters of Periyar Lake (subject to availability). As your boat glides through the still water, keep your eyes peeled — wildlife often comes to the shore to drink, giving you a real jungle safari experience from the water! 

Spice Plantation Walk

Later, explore a nearby spice plantation where you’ll walk through neat rows of cardamom, pepper vines, vanilla creepers, and more. A local guide will explain how spices are grown, harvested, and cured. You’ll gain a whole new appreciation for the spices that sit in your kitchen at home! 

Don’t forget to pick up some fresh spices, herbal oils, or handmade soaps — a great souvenir and truly local product.

Evening Cultural Experiences (Optional)

As the sun sets, experience Kerala’s vibrant traditional arts with optional cultural shows:

• Kathakali Dance Show – Watch this ancient dance-drama unfold with elaborate makeup, expressive gestures, and live storytelling based on mythology.

• Kalaripayattu Martial Arts – One of the world’s oldest martial arts, performed with swords, shields, and mind-blowing acrobatics. A must-see for culture lovers!

These performances usually take place in local theaters or cultural centers and can be booked at the venue or via your hotel.

Return to your hotel and unwind. Maybe enjoy a quiet dinner under the stars, or sip on a hot cup of spiced herbal tea to end your day.

Overnight stay in Thekkady.

Rise early to the sound of the waves and enjoy a hearty breakfast at your beach resort in Kovalam ☀️. Today, you’ll embark on a fascinating day trip to Kanyakumari, the southernmost point of mainland India where three seas meet in a dramatic and spiritual setting.

After breakfast, check out or set off from Kovalam for a drive of approximately 90–100 km (2.5–3 hours). The scenic route takes you along the coastal belt of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, possibly passing Poovar (known for its estuary and golden sand) and Suchindram ⛪, famous for its ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma.

As you cross into Tamil Nadu, vehicle permits (if applicable) will be arranged smoothly. Along the way, watch as the landscape shifts from palm-fringed backwaters to coastal villages and open sea views.

Kanyakumari Sightseeing Highlights

Once in Kanyakumari, dive into a day of culture, spirituality, and oceanic beauty. Some major spots not to miss:

Vivekananda Rock Memorial

Take a short ferry ride ⛴️ to this iconic island rock, where Swami Vivekananda meditated in 1892. The memorial blends Indian architecture and spiritual peace — and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean on all sides.

Thiruvalluvar Statue

Right next to the rock memorial is the 133-foot-tall statue of Tamil poet and philosopher Thiruvalluvar, standing strong amidst the crashing waves. You can admire it from the boat or take a closer look depending on sea conditions.

Kanyakumari Amman Temple (Kumari Temple)

Visit this sacred temple dedicated to Goddess Devi Kanya Kumari, believed to be an incarnation of Parvati. The temple is steeped in legends and attracts both pilgrims and tourists. Traditional attire is recommended here.

Gandhi Memorial Mandapam

A solemn yet inspiring place where Mahatma Gandhi's ashes were kept before immersion in the sea. The architecture is designed such that sunlight falls directly on the memorial spot on Gandhi’s birthday (Oct 2nd) ✨.

Sunset Point – The Meeting of Three Seas

If time and weather permit, stay for the unforgettable sunset the magical moment where the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean merge. It’s a view like no other, often accompanied by calm winds, golden light, and spiritual calm. A must-see if you're lucky with clear skies!

 After this enriching experience, begin your return journey to Kovalam in the evening. You’ll likely arrive back at your resort by dinner time tired, but filled with memories of standing at the edge of the Indian subcontinent.

Overnight stay in Kovalam, where you can relax and unwind after a full day of discovery and beauty.

Alleppey ➡️ Trivandrum – Farewell with Fond Memories 

You wake up to the soft ripples of the backwaters, the calls of water birds, and the golden rays of the morning sun filtering through the mist. It’s your final morning in God’s Own Country, and it begins with a peaceful Kerala-style breakfast served right on the deck  think appam, stew, fresh fruit, and aromatic coffee or tea ☕.

⛵ Disembark & Farewell to the Backwaters

By 9:00 AM, your houseboat gently returns to the jetty. It’s time to disembark — but not before taking a last look at the calm waters and waving goodbye to your onboard crew. You’ll carry not just bags, but a heart full of serene memories.

From here, your driver will escort you on your onward journey to Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram), the capital city of Kerala — a 3 to 3.5-hour drive (approx. 150 km) depending on traffic and route. Along the way, you’ll pass through lush countryside, bustling villages, and glimpses of daily life in Kerala.

(Optional) En Route Visit – Padmanabhaswamy Temple

Time permitting, you may stop to visit the famous Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple—one of the richest and most revered temples in India, dedicated to Lord Vishnu reclining on the serpent Anantha. The Dravidian-style architecture, tall gopuram, and spiritual energy make it a fitting final stop. (Note: Strict dress code applies – traditional attire is required.)

If you prefer, you could also do a quick city drive through Trivandrum to see:

• The Kerala Secretariat

• Napier Museum & Zoo (if time allows)

• Local shopping areas for last-minute souvenirs

✈️Tour Concludes – Drop at Trivandrum Airport / Railway Station

Your driver will drop you off at Trivandrum International Airport (TRV) ✈️ or Railway Station, as per your schedule.
