About this trip
Kerala trips usually move between Munnar's tea hills, Alleppey's backwaters and Kochi's old town, and that mix is what makes it work for such different groups. A honeymoon couple wants the houseboat night, a family wants Munnar's cooler weather, and both get it in the same circuit.
It's a slightly longer trip by nature, since the good parts of Kerala are spread out, but that's also why it rarely feels rushed once you're there.
How to reach: Flights into Kochi are the most common entry point, with the circuit running Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey by road.
Trip highlights
- An overnight houseboat stay in the Alleppey backwaters
- Munnar's tea plantations and viewpoints
- Fort Kochi's colonial streets and Chinese fishing nets
- Thekkady and Periyar for groups that want a wildlife stop
- Spice plantation visits en route to Munnar
