Your days, thoughtfully arranged.
Consider this an opening conversation. The route, stays and experiences can be adjusted around your dates and interests.
Days 1–2 · Kochi
Ease into Kerala in Kochi. Explore the historic neighbourhoods at a comfortable pace, with time for a café stop and a meal that introduces the region’s flavours.
Days 3–4 · Munnar
Head towards the hills. Give yourself a full day among the tea landscapes, balancing a walk with time to enjoy the view from your stay.
Days 5–6 · Periyar
Spend two nights near the forest. Discuss suitable nature activities with your planner; weather, access and your comfort with walking will guide the choices.
Day 7 · Alleppey
Move down to the backwaters for a different perspective on village life. Choose a day cruise or overnight houseboat when shaping your final plan.
Days 8–10 · Kovalam
Finish on the coast. Keep these days flexible for beach time, local meals and rest, especially if the earlier part of the journey has been active.
Day 11 · Departure
Leave time for your airport transfer. An extra coastal night can make the journey easier if your flight departs early or late.
