Overview

Discover God’s Own Country in this enchanting 6-day journey through Kerala, experiencing its lush tea plantations, exotic wildlife, serene backwaters, pristine beaches, and rich cultural heritage.

Your Kerala adventure begins with a scenic drive from Cochin to Munnar, passing through cascading Valara and Cheeyappara waterfalls and aromatic spice plantations where cardamom, pepper, and cloves grow abundantly. Munnar, set at 1600 meters above sea level, welcomes you with its rolling tea gardens and cool mountain air.

Explore Munnar’s natural treasures – Mattupetty Dam surrounded by lush hills, Echo Point where your voice reverberates across valleys, picturesque Kundala Dam, Eravikulam National Park (home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr), and the colorful Rose Garden. The endless tea plantations carpeting the hills create a mesmerizing green landscape.

Journey to Thekkady, Kerala’s premier wildlife destination. Cruise on Periyar Lake through the wildlife sanctuary, spotting elephants, deer, wild boars, and monkeys in their natural habitat. Experience Kerala’s rich cultural traditions with thrilling Kalaripayattu (ancient martial art) and graceful Kathakali (classical dance-drama) performances. Optional elephant rides add to the adventure.

Experience Kerala’s most iconic attraction – the Alleppey backwaters. Board a traditional houseboat and glide through tranquil canals, lagoons, and lakes lined with coconut palms. Watch village life unfold on the banks – fishermen casting nets, children playing, and boats laden with goods. The houseboat overnight stay, with delicious Kerala meals prepared onboard, is truly unforgettable.

Visit the magnificent Jatayu Earth Center, featuring the world’s largest bird sculpture depicting the mythological Jatayu from Ramayana. Relax on pristine beaches – Varkala’s cliff-backed shores and Kovalam’s crescent beaches with golden sands and swaying palms.

Conclude your journey exploring Trivandrum – visit the ancient Azhimala Siva Temple, marvel at the opulent Shri Padmanabhaswamy Temple (one of India’s richest temples), and explore the Trivandrum museum showcasing Kerala’s history and art. Return to Cochin carrying memories of Kerala’s diverse landscapes, warm hospitality, and timeless beauty.
