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

Start your Kerala adventure with a cheerful welcome at Cochin Airport. Then begin a scenic 160 km drive to Munnar, passing through green hills filled with tea and spice plantations. On the way, stop to see the beautiful Cheyyappara and Valara waterfalls, and enjoy the wide mountain views from Adimali. Once you reach Munnar, check into your hotel and relax in the cool, peaceful hill station, sitting 1600 meters above sea level. Stay overnight and get ready for more fun tomorrow.

Begin your day with a tasty breakfast, then head out to explore the natural wonders of Munnar. First, visit Eravikulam National Park to spot the rare Nilgiri Tahr, a mountain goat found only here. Next, stop at Mattupetty Dam, where you can enjoy a peaceful boat ride surrounded by hills. At Echo Point, shout and hear your voice bounce back, and take photos at Shooting Point, a favourite spot for movie scenes. After lunch, learn all about tea at the Tea Museum and enjoy the wide mountain views from Pothenmedu View Point. Return to your hotel and relax for the night in Munnar’s cool, quiet air.

After breakfast, leave Munnar and enjoy a scenic drive through the green hills of the Western Ghats to Thekkady. Once you arrive, check into your hotel and get ready to explore! You can watch a colourful Kathakali dance show, visit a spice plantation to learn about cardamom and pepper, or try a gentle elephant ride. Don’t miss the boat cruise on Lake Periyar, where you might see elephants, deer, or birds in the forest. Spend the night at your hotel, surrounded by the fresh smells of Thekkady’s spice gardens.

Enjoy a tasty breakfast, then check out and head to Alleppey, often called the 'Venice of the East' for its calm backwaters and winding canals. Step aboard your private houseboat and begin a peaceful cruise past green fields, quiet villages, and waving palm trees. Watch life along the water and enjoy delicious Kerala meals served onboard. Sip evening tea as the sun sets over the lake. At night, the houseboat stays anchored, giving you a cosy and quiet stay under the stars.

After breakfast on the houseboat, step ashore and travel to Cochin for your final day of discovery. Begin with the iconic Chinese fishing nets, gently swaying over the water, then wander through the historic lanes of Fort Cochin. Visit the peaceful Jewish Synagogue and admire the royal charm of Mattancherry Palace. Stop by St. Francis Church, one of India’s oldest European churches, and enjoy a relaxing walk along Marine Drive with views of the harbour. As your Kerala journey comes to an end, head to Cochin International Airport, taking with you warm memories of nature, culture, and calm waters.
