6-Day Kerala Tour with Munnar, Backwaters & Beaches 6 Days & 5 Nights

Arrive at Kochi and begin a scenic drive to Munnar, winding through green tea gardens and misty hills. Pause at Cheeyappara and Valara waterfalls for refreshing views and photo stops. Once in Munnar, check into your hotel and enjoy a quiet evening—perhaps with a gentle walk through the tea plantations. Settle in for a peaceful overnight stay surrounded by nature.

Start your day with a visit to Eravikulam National Park, home to the rare Nilgiri Tahr. Continue to Mattupetty Dam and Lake, where you can opt for a boating experience, and then proceed to the serene Echo Point and Kundala Lake. Delve into the history of tea at the Tea Museum and enjoy a stroll through the colorful Blossom Park. End your day exploring the local market in Munnar before returning to your hotel for an overnight stay.

After breakfast, travel through green hills and forested valleys to reach Thekkady. Check into your hotel and get ready for a boat safari on Periyar Lake, where you might spot elephants and birds in the wild. Add to the fun with an optional elephant ride, a colourful Kathakali show, or a lively Kalaripayattu performance. In the evening, stroll through spice plantations and shop for fresh, local spices. Enjoy a peaceful overnight stay in Thekkady.

After breakfast, travel to Alleppey and board your traditional Kerala houseboat by noon. As the boat glides through quiet canals and green paddy fields, enjoy views of village life and swaying palms. Savor lunch, evening tea, and dinner onboard while soaking in the calm surroundings. Spend a peaceful night anchored in the heart of Alleppey’s backwaters.

After breakfast, step off your houseboat and head toward the sunny shores of Kovalam. If time allows, take a peaceful detour to the Poovar backwaters, where calm waters and quiet views offer a lovely pause. Once in Kovalam, relax at Lighthouse Beach and Hawa Beach, feeling the soft sand and sea breeze. Enjoy the coastal charm before settling in for an overnight stay by the ocean.

On your final day, visit the iconic Padmanabhaswamy Temple, explore the rich collections of the Napier Museum, and enjoy the tranquil setting of Shangumugham Beach, time permitting. Conclude your Kerala adventure as you are transferred to Trivandrum Airport or Railway Station for your onward journey.
