Your journey, thoughtfully connected
The southern journey, beautifully balanced.
Begin with coastal heritage in Kochi, continue to Munnar’s hills and Thekkady’s spice-country setting, then slow down on the backwaters. This is a useful starting point for a first Kerala holiday. Choose between a houseboat, day cruise or waterside stay rather than a fixed package.
This is a proposed itinerary, not a guaranteed departure or availability statement. The final route, travel connections and services will be confirmed in your written proposal.

Your suggested itinerary
Day 01
Welcome to Kochi
Begin your journey in Kochi. We will agree your arrival or meeting arrangements in advance and keep the first day realistic for your travel schedule. Settle into your stay and discuss the days ahead with your local contact.
Suggested overnight: KochiDay 02
Discover Kochi
Kochi is an inviting beginning to Kerala. Historic trading connections show themselves in its architecture, neighbourhoods and food. Explore on foot where practical, pause between visits, and consider an evening performance as an introduction to Kerala’s artistic traditions. Your planned visits will be selected around opening schedules and the pace you prefer.
Suggested overnight: KochiDay 03
Kochi to Munnar
Continue from Kochi to Munnar using the transport arrangements agreed in your quotation. Allow the travel day its own space, with sightseeing added only where timings make it comfortable. Depending on timing, your plan can include: Enjoy tea-country views and scenic stops. Alternatively, leave this visit for your next full day.
Suggested overnight: MunnarDay 04
Discover Munnar
Munnar’s appeal lies in its green hills and changing light. It is a place for scenic drives, tea-country experiences and quieter time between visits. Mountain roads are part of the journey, so the itinerary should allow comfortable travel time and avoid packing too much into arrival day. Your planned visits will be selected around opening schedules and the pace you prefer.
Suggested overnight: MunnarDay 05
More time in Munnar
Choose gentle walks suited to weather and your interests. This additional day creates room for a slower pace, an agreed optional activity or time at your hotel. We will refine the details around what you most want to experience.
Suggested overnight: MunnarDay 06
Munnar to Thekkady
Continue from Munnar to Thekkady using the transport arrangements agreed in your quotation. Allow the travel day its own space, with sightseeing added only where timings make it comfortable. Depending on timing, your plan can include: Discuss a Periyar-area nature activity. Alternatively, leave this visit for your next full day.
Suggested overnight: ThekkadyDay 07
Discover Thekkady
Thekkady brings another texture to a Kerala journey: spice-growing landscapes and the forest setting around Periyar. Plan a balance of nature activities and downtime, with any boat or guided experience confirmed according to the rules and availability in force. Your planned visits will be selected around opening schedules and the pace you prefer.
Suggested overnight: ThekkadyDay 08

Suggested overnight: AlleppeyDay 09
Discover Alleppey
Alleppey is a gateway to Kerala’s backwater landscape. A day cruise, an overnight houseboat and a waterside hotel offer different ways to experience it. We will help you compare these options rather than assume every traveller wants the same style of stay. Your planned visits will be selected around opening schedules and the pace you prefer.
Suggested overnight: AlleppeyDay 10
Departure or onward travel
Enjoy any free time that your schedule allows, then continue with your agreed departure arrangements. Travel from Alleppey towards Kochi; the mode of transport and timing will be confirmed in your proposal. If you would like an extra night, we can adapt the route.
