7-Day Kerala Tour: Waterfalls & Backwaters Adventure 7 Days & 6 Nights

Welcome to Kerala! Upon arrival at Cochin Airport or Ernakulam Railway Station, meet your friendly guide and begin a scenic drive to Munnar. Along the way, pause to admire the stunning Cheeyappara and Valara waterfalls, tumbling gracefully from a height of 1000 feet. Once in Munnar, check into your resort and take a moment to relax. In the afternoon, visit the colourful Rose Garden and enjoy a magical sunset by Mattupetty Lake and Dam. Let the peaceful charm of Munnar wrap around you as you settle in for a restful night.

Start your morning with a tasty Keralan breakfast, then head out to explore Munnar’s lush tea gardens. Join a fun workshop to learn how tea is made, from leaf to cup. Visit Eravikulam National Park, home to the rare Nilgiri Tahr and playful Nilgiri Langurs. Stop by Echo Point to hear your voice bounce off the hills, enjoy the calm waters of Kundala Lake, and stroll through the colourful Blossom Garden. After a day full of nature and learning, return to your hotel and relax for the evening.

After a hearty breakfast, leave Munnar and travel about 96 km to Thekkady, enjoying the scenic drive through hills and spice-scented air. Once you arrive, check into your hotel and take some time to relax. In the afternoon, visit Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, where you might spot elephants, deer, and even tigers among the thick forests. Later, enjoy a dazzling Kathakali dance show and a thrilling Kalaripayattu martial arts performance. Return to your hotel for a peaceful overnight stay in Thekkady.

Set off for Alleppey, the heart of Kerala’s peaceful backwaters. Arrive by noon and board your private houseboat, ready for a one-of-a-kind experience. As you float gently through quiet canals and wide lakes, watch village life unfold along the shores—children waving, fishermen casting nets, and women tending to rice fields. Try your hand at fishing and enjoy a delicious dinner featuring Keralan-style fish curry, rich in flavour and tradition. Drift into a restful sleep on the water, surrounded by the soft sounds of nature.

After breakfast, check out from the houseboat by 9:00 am and head to Kovalam. Check into a resort and unwind. Explore the picturesque Lighthouse Beach and enjoy a moonlit walk at Hawa Beach. Dive into the vibrant night markets, discovering local handicrafts and clothing. Spend a peaceful night at your Kovalam resort.

Begin your day with a delicious Keralan breakfast, full of local flavours and warmth. Then head to the Kerala Art and Crafts Village, where handmade treasures and traditional skills come to life. Visit the grand Shree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, famous for its beautiful architecture and spiritual charm. Later, enjoy a peaceful boat ride on Vellayani Lake, surrounded by greenery and birdsong. If you're here during Onam, don’t miss the exciting boat races that fill the waters with energy and cheer. Return to your resort in Kovalam and unwind as the sun sets over the coast.

Wrap up your Kerala journey with a hearty breakfast at the resort, savouring the last flavours of this peaceful escape. If time allows, take a short city tour of Thiruvananthapuram and soak in its cultural charm one last time. Your representative will then escort you to the airport, where your adventure ends—but the memories of Kerala’s beauty, warmth, and serenity will stay with you forever.
