Kerala is a poem whispered through lush landscapes, always inviting a deeper dive. Yet, in our busy lives, time is a luxury.

Let’s Go to The Perfect Combo – Munnar & Alleppey
The Perfect Combo: Munnar & Alleppey
Your four-day journey focuses on two incredibly distinct yet equally captivating destinations: Munnar, the emerald hill station famed for its Neelakurinji blooms and vast tea plantations, and Alleppey, the enchanting “Venice of the East” with its incredible backwaters.
What Your 4 Days Will Look Like:
Day 1: Kochi to Munnar – A Scenic Drive to the Hills
Your adventure begins upon landing in Kochi. From there, it’s a breathtaking 130 km drive to Munnar. Imagine winding roads flanked by vibrant plantations, cascading waterfalls, and fragrant spice gardens. Don’t miss the stunning Valara and Cheeyappara Waterfalls – feel the chill and rush of the falls as you pass by. Drive through endless tea plantations and visit a spice garden to learn about pepper, cardamom, and cinnamon. Arrive in Munnar by evening, sip a refreshing cup of local tea, and explore the bustling Munnar market.
Day 2: Explore Munnar’s Mist, Mountains & Tea
Today is all about immersing yourself in nature. Munnar’s cool climate is perfect for leisurely exploration. Start at Eravikulam National Park, home to the rare Nilgiri Tahr. Next, visit a tea museum to understand how your morning brew is made. Enjoy boating with picturesque hill views at Mattupetty Dam, then head to Echo Point and Kundala Lake for a blend of nature and fun. For a thrill, consider an off-road jeep ride to hidden meadows. This day is for slow discovery, not hurried sightseeing.
Day 3: From Tea Hills to Tranquil Backwaters
Prepare for a magical shift in scenery as you journey from green hills to serene waters. Start early for the 5.5-hour (200 km) drive to Alleppey. Upon arrival, step onto your private houseboat and let the tranquillity wash over you. This is the moment you’ve been waiting for! A local chef will prepare lunch with fresh catches and coconut-infused delicacies as you float past paddy fields, waving villagers, and swaying coconut trees. No rush, just water and wind. By evening, your boat anchors in a quiet canal for a candlelit dinner, lulled by the gentle sounds of the water. It’s more than a room; it’s an experience.
Day 4: Farewell Alleppey, Return to Kochi
After a final breakfast on the houseboat, check out and drive back to Kochi. If time permits before your departure, explore Fort Kochi’s colonial lanes, Jew Town, and Mattancherry Palace. Don’t leave without trying Kerala Filter Coffee or a refreshing Cold Boost at a seaside café!
