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

Arrive in Cochin and begin your scenic drive to Munnar, a hill station where three rivers meet and the air is cool and fresh. Along the way, pause to admire the cascading beauty of Cheeyappara and Valara Waterfalls, surrounded by lush greenery. As you travel through winding roads, take in the sight of vast tea and spice plantations—each one a window into Kerala’s rich farming traditions. Once in Munnar, check into your hotel or resort and unwind. Spend the evening soaking in the peaceful mountain views before settling in for a restful overnight stay.

After a hearty breakfast, set out to explore the breathtaking sights of Munnar. Begin with a visit to the picturesque Photo Point and continue to the Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr. Discover the tranquil Mattupetty Dam, where you can optionally enjoy a boat ride, and experience the natural echo phenomenon at Echo Point. Capture the scenic beauty at Shooting Point and take a peaceful shikara boat ride on Kundale Lake. After lunch, explore the Tea Museum to learn how tea is processed, and admire the lush tea plantations of Pothamedu. Return to your hotel for a restful night.

Start your day with a delicious breakfast before checking out and traveling to Thekkady. Enjoy the scenic drive through the Western Ghats, with its hills and green valleys leading you to this jungle destination. Thekkady boasts diverse flora and fauna, featuring the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, a renowned tiger reserve. Opt for a tranquil boat cruise on Lake Periyar for a chance to glimpse wildlife such as elephants and tigers. After checking into your hotel, you can choose to enjoy activities like a jeep safari, Kathakali show, or spice plantation visit. Relax and soak in the natural aroma of spices predominant in the region before settling in for the night.

After breakfast, bid farewell to Thekkady and proceed to Alleppey, famously known as the 'Venice of the East.' Board your private houseboat and set sail through the tranquil backwaters, surrounded by lush landscapes and charming villages. Relish lunch on board as the houseboat glides through serene canals and lagoons. The cruise will end around sunset, with a break for evening tea and snacks. Enjoy dinner on the houseboat as it anchors for the night, offering a unique and peaceful overnight stay on the water.

After breakfast, disembark from your houseboat and head to Cochin. On your way, take a leisurely stroll along Marine Drive, and explore cultural landmarks like the Jewish Synagogue, St. Francis Church, and Dutch Palace. Reflect on the memories of your Kerala adventure before heading to the Cochin Airport or Railway Station for your onward journey.
