6-Day Kerala Escape to Munnar, Thekkady, and Backwaters 6 Days & 5 Nights

Begin your Kerala adventure with a warm welcome at Cochin Airport or Ernakulam Railway Station. From there, enjoy a scenic drive to Munnar, passing through lush greenery and stopping to admire the stunning Cheeyappara and Valara waterfalls—nature’s own cascading spectacle. Once in Munnar, check into your resort and unwind. Later, visit the colourful Rose Garden and soak in the peaceful charm of Mattupetty Lake and Dam as the sun sets over the hills. End your day with a restful overnight stay in Munnar’s cool, quiet embrace.

Start your day with a delicious traditional Keralan breakfast before heading out to explore Munnar’s vast tea gardens. Join a hands-on workshop to discover how tea is grown, picked, and processed—an experience that brings the region’s rich tea culture to life. Next, visit Eravikulam National Park, where you might spot the rare Nilgiri Tahr and playful Nilgiri Langurs among the rolling hills. Let your voice bounce through the valley at Echo Point, then enjoy the calm waters of Kundala Lake. Don’t miss the vibrant colours of Blossom Garden, a peaceful spot filled with flowers and fresh mountain air. After a full day of adventure and discovery, return to your hotel and relax into the quiet charm of Munnar for another restful night.

After breakfast, set off on a scenic drive to Thekkady, about 96 kilometers from Munnar. Once you arrive, check into your hotel and take a moment to relax in the peaceful surroundings. In the afternoon, head to Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, where you might spot elephants and even tigers among the thick greenery and calm lake. As the day winds down, enjoy a lively Kathakali dance and a thrilling Kalaripayattu martial arts show—two vibrant pieces of Kerala’s cultural heritage. Return to your hotel and settle in for a restful overnight stay in Thekkady’s wild and wonderful setting.

Start your day with a hearty breakfast, then check out from your hotel and head to Alleppey, the heart of Kerala’s backwaters. Once there, step aboard your private houseboat and settle in for a relaxing cruise through lush green landscapes and quiet canals. Try your hand at fishing, enjoy a delicious Keralan fish curry, and watch the world drift by as you dine on board. As night falls, let the gentle sounds of the water lull you to sleep in your cosy floating home.

After breakfast, step off your houseboat and travel to the coastal town of Kovalam. Check into a cosy resort and take some time to relax before heading out to explore. As evening falls, stroll along the soft sands of Lighthouse Beach and Hawa Beach under the moonlight—a perfect setting for a romantic walk. Then, dive into Kovalam’s lively night markets, where you’ll find beautiful handicrafts and colourful traditional Keralan clothing. End your day with a peaceful overnight stay, lulled by the sound of waves and the charm of the coast.

After a hearty breakfast, check out from your resort and begin your journey to the  Thiruvananthapuram airport or railway station. On the way, visit the sacred Shree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, where stunning architecture and peaceful vibes offer a final touch of Kerala’s spiritual charm. If time permits, enjoy a short city tour of Thiruvananthapuram, soaking in its rich culture and history.
