5-Day Kerala Tour with Munnar, Thekkady, and Houseboat 5 Days & 4 Nights

When you reach Cochin, a driver will meet you and take you to Munnar, a beautiful hill station about 130 km away (around 3.5 hours by car). On the way, you will see streams, small waterfalls, and green farms growing rubber, pepper, cardamom, and tea. These views show the natural beauty of Kerala. After reaching Munnar, you will check into your hotel and rest. At night, you will stay in Munnar, and you can plan visits to nearby places like Cheyappara and Valara Waterfalls.

After breakfast, spend the whole day exploring Munnar. Visit the green hills, meadows, and the beautiful Mattupetty Lake and Dam, just 10 km away. You can enjoy a fun boat ride on the lake. Then, go to Echo Point, where your voice bounces back when you shout. Next, visit Kundala Lake, surrounded by green forests. Also, walk through the wide tea gardens that stretch as far as you can see. In the evening, return to your hotel in Munnar and stay overnight.

After breakfast, leave your hotel and take a beautiful drive to Thekkady, about 125 km away (around 4 hours). On the way, you will see the Western Ghats filled with spice farms, waterfalls, and streams. When you reach Thekkady, check into your hotel and enjoy the nature all around. You can go for an exciting boat ride in the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary or visit spice gardens. In the evening, you may also watch a Kathakali dance or a Kalaripayattu martial arts show. Stay overnight at your hotel in Thekkady.

After breakfast, leave your hotel and drive to Alleppey. By around 12:30 PM, get on your private houseboat and start a calm ride through the backwaters. On the boat, enjoy lunch, evening tea with snacks, and dinner. Relax as you watch the peaceful water, gentle waves, and sometimes fish jumping. At night, sleep on the houseboat for a special and quiet experience away from the busy city.

After breakfast, leave the houseboat and travel to Cochin. If there is enough time, visit some famous places like the Jewish Synagogue, Dutch Palace, St. Francis Church, and the Chinese Fishing Nets. You can also enjoy a walk at Fort Kochi Beach. Later, go to the airport or railway station for your trip home, taking with you lots of happy memories from Kerala.
