Do you think it is possible to explore Kerala in just 4 days? It could be, don’t worry, let us guide you through it.
Many travellers hesitate before making a short trip to Kerala but are always worried that they may not be able to experience and explore Kerala. But you can very well explore all you want, only when your itinerary is well-planned. You may even see, feel, and taste the essence of Kerala in just 4 days. Let us explain to you how a quick and quintessential trip to Keraa, Munnar, to Alleppey is not just possible but can be unforgettable, in an awesome way.
Kerala feels like a poem; it is lush and poetic. It feels like the more we explore, the more we need to deep dive into it. But not many of us have the time to explore in the hustle of our lives. But you do not need to spend a lot of your time to sip tea peacefully at a place where it is actually grown, float through the backwaters on a houseboat, or eat the famous appam with coconut stew. The Kerala holiday package is for people with tight schedules but can’t escape the need to explore the serene.
Let’s Go to The Perfect Combo – Munnar & Alleppey
Your 4-day trip will be focused on the two amazing, opposite but appalling destinations of Kerala, Munnar, the Emerald Hill of Neelankurinji Blooms, and Alleppey, the Venice of the East, with Incredible Backwaters.
What You will Be Experiencing
Day 1 – Kochi to Munnar – A Drive Straight Outta a Film
Your journey begins right when you land in Kochi. After your arrival at Kochi, from there it is a 130 km drive to Munnar, going through plantations, waterfalls, and spice gardens, offering you a scenic drive. The highlights of the route are the Valara and Cheeyappara Waterfalls. Experience the chill and the rush you get from the falls while going to Munnar; you do not have to miss anything else to experience this serenity. Drive through tea plantations on both sides of the road and visit any of the spice plantations on the way, and you can learn about how spices like pepper, cardamom, and cinnamon grow.
As you arrive in Munnar by the evening, sip a cup of fresh tea and must visit the Munnar local market and explore as you wish and can do a ton of window shopping.
Day 2 – Explore the Mist, Mountains, & Tea
This is your day to immerse yourself in nature. Munnar is cooler than most of Kerala, and the day is all about indulging in its charm. You can start with the Eravikulam National Park, a home to the rare Nilgiri Tahr. Then discover how your morning cup of tea is made in the tea museum. Get on with the Mattupetty dam and explore boating with hill views, and at last, Echo Point and Kundala Lake with a combination of nature and fun. You can also try off-road jeep rides to the less-explored meadows and plantations. Relax and just go on with slow discovery. No temple runs or no box-ticking, just slow discovery.
Day 3 – Tea Hills to Backwaters
We are going to shift in scenery that is going to feel magical, from the green hills to serene waters. You are going to must start early and drive to Alleppey (5.5 hours – 200 Km). After you arrive at the location, step into your private houseboat and take it in. Take in the view from the boat in the middle of the lake. Yes, this is the moment you have been waiting for. In the boat, a local chef will make you lunch with the fresh catch and the epitome of coconut, you will float past the paddy fields, waving villagers, and coconut trees. No hustle and bustle, just water and wind. By the evening, the boat is anchored in a quiet canal. You can enjoy a candlelit dinner, the sound of the water, and a deep sleep. It is not just a room; it is an experience.
Day 4 – Goodbye to Alleppey, and Go Off to Kochi
After breakfast on the boat, you can check out and drive back to Kochi. If you have enough time, you can explore Fort Kochi through the colonial lanes, Jew Town and Mattancherry Palace, and give Kerala Filter Coffee and Cold Boost a try at a seaside café.
