Day-by-Day Itinerary
A 4 Nights / 5 Days journey through Cochin - Munnar - Thekkady - Alleppey.
Cochin to Munnar (approx. 4 hrs)
Arrive at Cochin airport or Ernakulam railway station, where our representative receives you for the scenic 4-hour climb to Munnar — past pineapple gardens, rubber and spice plantations, and the Valara and Cheeyappara waterfalls. Check in at the hotel; rest of the day free in this nature lovers' paradise. Overnight in Munnar.
Munnar Full-Day Sightseeing
After breakfast, explore Munnar's highlights — Mattupetty Dam and Lake, Echo Point, Kundala Lake, Photo Point, Eravikulam (Rajamala) National Park with its rare Nilgiri Tahr, Anaimudi peak views, the Tata Tea Museum, Blossom Hydel Park and the Pothamedu sunset point — ending with an evening spice and tea trail. Overnight in Munnar.
Munnar to Thekkady — Periyar Wildlife
Post breakfast, drive into the heart of the Cardamom Hills to Thekkady, past mist-capped mountains, spice plantations and waterfall-lined grasslands. After check-in, head out for a half-day tour: a boat safari on Periyar Lake through the Periyar Tiger Reserve — a once-in-a-lifetime chance to spot wildlife in its natural habitat — followed by a spice plantation visit and an evening stroll through Kumily's bustling spice market. Overnight in Thekkady.
Thekkady to Alleppey — Houseboat Stay (approx. 4 hrs)
After breakfast, drive down through Kerala's villages and paddy fields to Alleppey on Vembanad Lake. Check in to your Kettuvallam houseboat, enjoy lunch on board and cruise through the lakes, lagoons and canals of the Kuttanad region — India's only below-sea-level rice bowl — capped by a spectacular sunset. Overnight on board, anchored mid-lake.
Alleppey to Cochin — Departure
Post breakfast, disembark at the boat jetty and stop by Alleppey Beach before the drive to Cochin. Transfer to Cochin airport or Ernakulam railway station for your journey home.
