End your day with a tasty dinner at a seaside café, soaking in the coastal charm before a restful night in Kochi.

After a hearty breakfast in Kochi, begin your scenic 3–4 hour drive to Munnar, covering around 125–130 km. Along the way, enjoy views of rolling plantations and stop to admire the cascading Cheeyappara and Valara Waterfalls. Take a refreshing break at a spice or tea garden before reaching Munnar by afternoon. Once you check in, spend a peaceful evening strolling through the lush tea gardens, soaking in the calm mountain air.

Start your day in Munnar with a visit to Eravikulam National Park, where the rare Nilgiri Tahr roams the misty hills. Then head to the Tea Museum to discover how Munnar’s famous tea is made. Enjoy a scenic drive to Mattupetty Dam and try boating on the calm waters. Stop by Echo Point to hear your voice bounce through the hills, and visit Kundala Lake for more serene views. If the skies are clear, end your day at Top Station with breathtaking views of the Western Ghats. Return to your hotel for dinner and a peaceful night in the hills.

After breakfast, check out and make your way to Thekkady, covering a distance of 90–120 km with a travel time of approximately 2.5–3.5 hours. Upon arrival, settle into your accommodation before embarking on a guided tour of a spice plantation. Enjoy the rich aromas and flavors of Kerala's famous spices. Later, opt for a tranquil boat cruise on Periyar Lake, ideal for spotting wildlife. In the evening, you may choose to watch a cultural performance featuring traditional Kathakali or Kalaripayattu.

After breakfast, set off for Alleppey, a 140–155 km drive that takes around 3.5 to 5 hours. Arrive by midday and step aboard a traditional houseboat or check into a peaceful backwater resort. Spend your afternoon drifting through palm-lined canals and green paddy fields, soaking in the calm. On the houseboat, enjoy freshly cooked meals and the gentle rhythm of the water. As evening falls, relax into an unforgettable overnight stay surrounded by Alleppey’s serene beauty.

After a leisurely breakfast aboard your houseboat or at the resort, it's time to disembark and make your way back to Kochi. The drive is relatively short, covering 50–90 km and taking 1–2.5 hours. If time allows, take a scenic stop at Marine Drive for a refreshing stroll or indulge in some last-minute shopping in Kochi before heading to the airport for your onward journey or flight home, marking the end of a memorable Kerala adventure.
