The many hill stations in Kerala are famed for its salubrious climate and pristine beauty.

People flock here from all over the world, for a look at the gorgeous Western Ghats that border the state. The major and most popular hill stations of the state are Munnar, Thekkady, Vagamon, Vythiri, Mattupetty, Idukki, Lakkidi and Ponmudi.

One of the most popular hill stations in Kerala, Munnar is famed for its verdant tea gardens and misty landscape. It is also home to various waterfalls, trekking trails, lakes and dams, which make for an amazing trip. Thekkady, unlike Munnar, is more about the wild side of Kerala. With lush greenery and diverse fauna, the most popular attractions of Thekkady include trekking opportunities, wildlife sanctuaries, jungle safaris and boat cruises. Vythiri is another amazing hill station in Munnar, much acclaimed for its scenic beauty and rolling hills. The biggest attraction here is the Kabini River, and the chance to enjoy water activities such as angling, boating and rafting. In Idukki, high mountains and meandering rivers offer a picturesque setting. Coupled with a year-round pleasant climate and many natural attractions, Idukki is perfect for some rest and recuperation. Ponmudi is also a popular, albeit small, hill station. Lush forests, deep ravines, burbling rivers and high mountains make up the beautiful landscape here. Lakkidi is another one of the serene hill stations of Kerala. Apart from its ample natural beauty, this hill station is also famous for its many luxury resorts. One of the favorite summer destinations for locals and tourists alike is Vagamon, which is dotted with frothy waterfalls and pine forests. Truly, Kerala is home to some of the best hill stations of the country.

    Avinash's 5 days trip to Kerala

    Our Kerala trip was nicely arranged through Travel Triangle via Comfort Travel Agency. The itinerary and pricing provided were competitive. The travel executive, Sameer, was also available on call whenever guidance was needed, which we truly appreciated. However, a few promised add-ons were not fulfilled as committed — specifically the arrangements for Kathakali, Kalaripayattu tickets, and the Munnar photoshoot. We had to manage these ourselves and pay from our own pocket. While the amount for Kathakali and Kalaripayattu was eventually reimbursed after multiple follow-ups, the photoshoot expense was not reimbursed. It would be better if such add-ons are either fulfilled as promised or the relevant refunds are processed promptly on the first follow-up. Multiple follow-ups affect the overall experience and mood of an otherwise well-planned trip.

    Chetan's 4 days trip to Kerala

    Five-Star Experience in God's Own Country: Munnar & Alappuzha Tour Overall Rating: 5/5 (Highly Recommended!) Werecently concluded a phenomenal 3-night, 4-day trip covering the stunning hill station of Munnar and the tranquil backwaters of Alappuzha (Alleppey), arranged through Namaskaram Travels. The entire experience, from initial planning to final drop-off, was seamless, professional, and truly unforgettable. This package delivered the perfect blend of misty mountains and serene waters, and we can’t thank the team enough. Agent Excellence: Vineet (Namaskaram Travels) A huge shout-out must go to our travel agent, Vineet. His professionalism and meticulous attention to detail made the entire booking process completely stress-free. Vineet expertly tailored the 4-day itinerary to maximize our time, ensuring comfortable travel and excellent accommodations in both locations. He was always responsive to our queries and ensured all logistics—from hotel check-ins to the houseboat boarding—were handled flawlessly. It felt great knowing we had such a reliable point of contact throughout the journey. Our Wonderful Driver: Subin Our driver, Subin, was truly the backbone of this trip. The drives between Kochi, Munnar, and Alappuzha are long, but Subin’s careful, safe driving and punctuality made every journey pleasant. He was extremely friendly, professional, and had superb local knowledge, pointing out hidden waterfalls, interesting spice plantations, and the best local spots for tea breaks. Subin's service went above and beyond; he was a reliable guide and a genuinely pleasant person to spend four days with. Trip Highlights Munnar (2 Nights) The rolling tea estates of Munnar are breathtaking. Our itinerary covered key spots like the scenic Mattupetty Dam, the fun echo phenomenon at Echo Point, and the unforgettable views from the top of the hills. The drive up, featuring stops and Valara waterfalls, set the perfect tone for the mountain stay. Alappuzha (1 Night Houseboat Cruise) The overnight stay on the traditional Keralite houseboat was magical and easily the highlight of the trip. Cruising through the narrow canals, witnessing village life, and watching the sunset over the backwaters was a truly unique experience. The traditional Keralite food served on the boat was delicious, and the staff was very attentive. In summary, if you are planning a trip to Kerala, we wholeheartedly recommend Namaskaram Travels. Ask for Vineet for the planning and Subin for the driving—they are a fantastic team! Date of Travel: October 2025 Package: 3 Nights / 4 Days Munnar & Alappuzha

    Venkatesh's 3 days trip to Kerala

    Entire trip was good and enjoyed with family, one experience could have been improved, after finalising the package cost, the hotel costs were increased by 6000 Rs. these type of decisions should be kept us informed before finalising the package. The hotel cost revision was informed after we made the payment of our first instalment. This was bitter experience to be honest. Spent a wonderful time with our friends and family
