Itinerary
Begin your holiday in Kochi. Crumbling spice warehouses line the narrow streets in this serene city. Spider-like Chinese fishing nets loom over the shoreline, and bustling markets display curiosities from centuries past. You will visit Fort Cochin, which has been a cherished seaport for centuries. You'll learn about traditional fishing methods in the morning. In the afternoon, you'll experience a cooking class with a TV personality.
Next, make your way to Munnar. This bustling hub of tea plantations is set amidst the mountains. Whilst here, head to the Kannan Devan Hills, which has perfect panoramic views over Munnar. In the afternoon, you'll make your way to Mattupetty. Have the rare chance of seeing a herd of wild elephants on the way. You will also experience the Kathakali and Martial Arts show during your time here.
Your next stop is Thekkady, known as the "spice capital". Take a trek through the evergreen forests and grasslands, accompanied by a trained guide. Enjoy a cruise on the lake later in the day. This is perhaps the best way to see the wildlife in the reserve. You may spot Gaur, Sambar, wild boars, or otters.
Next, head to Alleppey for a stay in a deluxe houseboat. Experience a cruise through the iconic backwaters of Kerala. Indulge in traditional cuisine onboard, with all meals included onboard. You'll sail past ancient temples, rustic buildings, paddy fields, and coconut trees.
You'll finish the trip on the island of Poovar. This tropical paradise is nestled between the Arabian Sea and the Ghats mountains. You'll have two nights to unwind by the emerald waters and golden sands.
