Nestled in the heart of Kerala, this trio offers an immersive experience of nature, culture, and relaxation. Whether you’re an adventure lover or a leisure seeker, this journey has something for everyone.

Day 1–2: The Misty Hills of Munnar

Your adventure begins in the scenic hill station of Munnar, often called the Kashmir of South India. As you drive up the winding roads, you’ll be welcomed by endless stretches of tea plantations, mist-covered valleys, and cool mountain air.

Start with a visit to the Tea Museum to learn about the region’s colonial past and the journey of tea from leaf to cup. Don’t miss Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point, and Kundala Lake, perfect for leisurely boat rides and photography. For nature lovers, Eravikulam National Park is a must-see. It’s home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr and offers breathtaking views of the Anamudi Peak.

Evenings in Munnar are peaceful. A walk through the tea gardens followed by a hot cup of local chai is the perfect way to end the day.

Day 3: The Wild Charm of Thekkady

A scenic drive through spice plantations takes you to Thekkady, famous for its wildlife and rich biodiversity. Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, located on the banks of the Periyar Lake, is the highlight of Thekkady. Opt for a boat safari, where you might spot elephants, bison, and various bird species in their natural habitat.

Spice plantations are a sensory delight here. Guided tours explain the cultivation of cardamom, pepper, and vanilla. For the adventurous, bamboo rafting and nature walks inside the sanctuary offer an up-close encounter with Kerala’s wild side.

Evening shows of Kathakali and Kalaripayattu, Kerala’s traditional dance and martial arts, are an entertaining way to immerse in local culture.

Day 4–6: Alleppey – The Backwater Bliss

No trip to Kerala is complete without experiencing Alleppey’s tranquil backwaters. Board a houseboat and sail through the intricate network of canals, lakes, and lagoons surrounded by swaying palms and paddy fields. These floating homes come with cozy bedrooms, fresh-cooked Kerala meals, and a front-row seat to rural life.

Spend a night on the houseboat and wake up to the soft lull of water and chirping birds. You can also explore Alleppey Beach, Marari Beach, or indulge in an Ayurvedic massage to round off your journey.
