5-Day Kerala Tour with Houseboat and Wildlife Adventure 5 Days & 4 Nights

Arrive in Cochin and begin your journey to Munnar, Kerala’s green paradise. As you travel through winding roads, enjoy views of tea gardens and spice plantations that stretch across the hills. Stop to admire the Cheeyappara and Valara waterfalls, where water tumbles through thick forest in a sparkling display. Once in Munnar, check into your hill resort and let the cool mountain air refresh you. Spend the evening exploring nearby sights or simply relaxing in the peaceful surroundings. It’s the perfect start to your Kerala adventure.

After breakfast, get ready to explore the scenic wonders of Munnar. Start your day at Mattupetty Dam, where calm waters reflect the surrounding hills, and nearby Kundala Lake offers fun activities in a peaceful setting. At Eco Point, shout into the hills and hear nature echo back—it’s a playful stop with lovely views. Wander through the colourful Rose Garden and stroll past endless rows of tea bushes that blanket the hills. In the afternoon, head to Eravikulam National Park, home to the rare Nilgiri Tahr. A gentle trek here rewards you with sweeping views of Munnar’s rolling landscape. As the day winds down, return to your resort and relax in the cool mountain air, surrounded by nature’s quiet charm.

After breakfast, say goodbye to Munnar’s misty hills and begin your drive to Thekkady, nestled in the heart of Kerala’s wild side. As you arrive, check into your hotel and get ready for an afternoon filled with adventure. Head to Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can choose a peaceful boat ride on the lake to spot elephants and birds, or take a thrilling jeep safari through the forest. Wander through spice plantations bursting with aroma, and if time allows, enjoy a lively Kathakali dance or a powerful Kalaripayattu martial arts show. Thekkady offers a perfect blend of nature and culture—an exciting chapter in your Kerala journey.

Following breakfast, head to the enchanting Alleppey, also known as the Venice of the East. Board a traditional houseboat by noon and embark on a serene cruise through the backwaters, witnessing the idyllic beauty of paddy fields and coconut groves. Relish delicious traditional Kerala meals prepared onboard and enjoy a peaceful overnight stay on the houseboat.

After breakfast, disembark from your houseboat and journey to Cochin for some captivating local sightseeing.
